## What is CVE-2026-49212?

CVE-2026-49212 is a medium-severity vulnerability in symfony ux, published on 17 Jul 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Symfony UX is a JavaScript ecosystem for Symfony. From 2.8.0 until 2.36.0 and 3.1.0, the HMAC computed by Symfony\UX\LiveComponent\LiveComponentHydrator covered only sorted prop key/value pairs and did not include the component name, the slot identifier (props vs propsFromParent), or request context, allowing a signed blob minted for one component or slot to be replayed in another and set a read-only prop on a target component. This issue is fixed in versions 2.36.0 and 3.1.0.

Weakness: CWE-345 (Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity)
