CVE-2026-109449
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.GHSA-7rpj-w9pf-39rr ↗EUVD-2026-102134 ↗
description
Affected symfony/expression-language releases can crash the PHP process when parsing expressions with excessive nesting. An attacker needs access to an application feature that parses or syntax-validates untrusted expressions, including ExpressionSyntax-based validation.
mitigation
Upgrade symfony/expression-language or symfony/symfony to 5.4.54, 6.4.48, 7.4.21, or 8.1.9, as applicable. Until upgraded, prevent untrusted users from submitting expressions for parsing or validation.
fixed in 5.4.54, 6.4.48, 7.4.21, 8.1.9
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
