## What is CVE-2024-45592?

CVE-2024-45592 is a high-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in DamienHarper auditor-bundle, published on 10 Sep 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

auditor-bundle, formerly known as DoctrineAuditBundle, integrates auditor library into any Symfony 3.4+ application. Prior to version 5.2.6, there is an unescaped entity property enabling Javascript injection. This is possible because `%source_label%` in twig macro is not escaped. Therefore script tags can be inserted and are executed. The vulnerability is fixed in versions 6.0.0 and 5.2.6.
