## What is CVE-2026-48736?

CVE-2026-48736 is a medium-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Sensiolabs Symfony, published on 14 Jul 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. From 5.4.0 to 5.4.53, 6.4.41, 7.4.13, and 8.0.13, NoPrivateNetworkHttpClient and IpUtils::PRIVATE_SUBNETS omitted IPv6 transition prefixes such as 6to4, NAT64, Teredo, and IPv4-compatible IPv6, allowing attacker-supplied URLs to represent private IPv4 targets in forms that IpUtils::isPrivateIp() did not block. This issue is fixed in versions 5.4.53, 6.4.41, 7.4.13, and 8.0.13.

Weakness: CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery), CWE-184 (Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs)

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
