Since the rework of the Remember me cookie in Symfony 5.3, the cookie is not invalidated anymore when the user changes its password.
Attackers can therefore maintain their access to the account even if the password is changed as long as they have had the chance to login once and get a valid remember me cookie.
Resolution
Symfony now makes the password part of the signature by default. In that way, when the password changes then the cookie is not valid anymore.
Description
When a Symfony application is running behind a proxy or a load-balancer, you can tell Symfony to look for the X-Forwarded-*
HTTP headers. HTTP headers that are not part of the "trusted_headers" allowed list are ignored and protect you from "Cache poisoning" attacks.
Description
CSV Injection, also known as Formula Injection, occurs when websites embed untrusted input inside CSV files. When a spreadsheet program opens a CSV, any cell starting with =
is interpreted by the software as a formula and could be abused by an attacker.
In Symfony 4.1, we've added the opt-in csv_escape_formulas
option in CsvEncoder
, to prefix all cells starting by =
, +
, -
or @
by a tab \t
