CVE-2021-41267
November 24, 2021
Symfony/Http-Kernel is the HTTP kernel component for Symfony, a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. Headers that are not part of the "trusted_headers" allowed list are ignored and protect users from "Cache poisoning" attacks. In Symfony 5.2, maintainers added support for the "X-Forwarded-Prefix" headers, but this header was accessible in SubRequest, even if it was not part of the "trusted_headers" allowed list. An attacker could leverage this opportunity to forge requests containing a "X-Forwarded-Prefix" header, leading to a web cache poisoning issue. Versions 5.3.12 and later have a patch to ensure that the "X-Forwarded-Prefix" header is not forwarded to subrequests when it is not trusted.
