Security Advisories 🚨

🚨 Symfony: Unbounded Recursion in the YAML Inline Lexer Lets a Single Document Crash the Process

Description

Yaml\Parser::lexInlineStructure() recursed through lexInlineMapping() and lexInlineSequence() for every { and [ of an inline collection, without entering the nesting level that the rest of the parser bounds with maxNestingLevel. A document made of deeply nested inline collections, such as [[[[...]]]], exhausted the stack while it was being lexed: depending on the PHP version and its stack settings, the process crashed or the request ended with a fatal error.

Any code parsing untrusted YAML is affected. That includes #[MapRequestPayload] when the Yaml component is installed and the endpoint does not restrict acceptFormat: a single unauthenticated request with a YAML content type is enough.

Resolution

The inline lexer now enters and leaves the same nesting level as the rest of the parser, so nested inline collections are bounded by maxNestingLevel, and the parser raises a ParseException beyond it.

The patches for this issue are available here for branch 5.4 (and forward-ported to 6.4, 7.4, 8.1 and 8.2).

We would like to thank Nicolas Grekas for reporting the issue and providing the fix.

🚨 Symfony hardened the parser when handling untrusted input

Description

Symfony\Component\Yaml\Parser is the entry point for parsing YAML strings into PHP values via Yaml::parse(). When the parser is exposed to attacker-controlled input, deeply nested mappings or sequences cause both the block-level (Parser::parseBlock()) and inline (Inline::parseSequence() / Inline::parseMapping()) parsers to recurse without a depth limit. A crafted document exhausts the PHP stack and crashes the worker.

Resolution

The Parser now tracks recursion depth in a shared ParserState object across both block-level and inline parsing, with a default limit of 128. The limit is configurable via a new $maxNestingLevel argument on Parser::__construct(), Yaml::parse() and Yaml::parseFile().

The patch for this issue is available here for branch 5.4.

🚨 Symfony's YAML Parser Vulnerable to Exponential Memory Allocation via Recursive Collection-Alias Expansion ("Billion Laughs")

Description

Symfony\Component\Yaml\Parser resolves YAML aliases (*anchor) during parsing. Aliases that reference collections (arrays, stdClass, TaggedValue-wrapped collections) can themselves point to other collections containing aliases, creating exponential expansion at resolution time. A small input can blow up into a multi-gigabyte structure and exhaust memory: the classic "Billion Laughs" denial-of-service against any parser exposed to untrusted YAML.

Resolution

The Parser now counts collection alias resolutions in a shared ParserState object, with a default limit of 128, following the SnakeYAML model. Scalar aliases remain unrestricted since they cannot drive exponential growth. The limit is configurable via a new $maxAliasesForCollections argument on Parser::__construct(), Yaml::parse() and Yaml::parseFile(). A new Yaml::PARSE_EXCEPTION_ON_ALIAS flag also rejects all aliases outright when parsing fully untrusted input.

The patch for this issue is available here for branch 5.4.

🚨 Symfony's YAML Parser has a ReDoS via Catastrophic Backtracking in Parser::cleanup() Regex

Description

Symfony\Component\Yaml\Parser::cleanup() strips the optional %YAML directive header, leading comments, and document start/end markers before parsing. The original regexes contained overlapping quantifiers, most notably '#^%YAML[: ][\d.]+.*\n#u', whose [\d.]+ and .* overlap on the dot, that exhibit catastrophic backtracking on crafted input. A single oversized %YAML directive header (or comment / document-marker line) makes the parser hang for an arbitrarily long time, denying service.

Resolution

The four regexes in Parser::cleanup() (YAML directive header, leading comments, document-start marker, document-end marker) have been rewritten with possessive quantifiers and unambiguous character classes so backtracking cannot occur.

The patch for this issue is available here for branch 5.4.
