Title
Symfony: HtmlSanitizer UrlAttributeSanitizer Omits action/formaction/poster/cite — javascript: URI Survives Sanitization (XSS)
Summary
Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. From 6.1.0-BETA1 until 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12, UrlAttributeSanitizer::getSupportedAttributes() omits URL-valued attributes including action, formaction, poster, and cite, so configurations that admit those attributes can leave javascript: URIs unsanitized and enable XSS when the resulting HTML is rendered or a victim submits a form or clicks a button. This issue is fixed in versions 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12.
