GitHub Security Advisory
Prevent injection of invalid entity ids for "autocomplete" fields
Advisory Details
### Impact
Under certain circumstances, an attacker could successfully submit an entity id for an `EntityType` that is *not* part of the valid choices.
Affected applications are any that use:
* A custom `query_builder` option to limit the valid results;
AND
* An `EntityType` with `'autocomplete' => true` or a custom [AsEntityAutocompleteField](https://symfony.com/bundles/ux-autocomplete/current/index.html#usage-in-a-form-with-ajax).
Under this circumstance, if an id is submitted, it is accepted even if the matching record would not be returned by the custom query built with `query_builder`.
### Patches
The problem has been fixed in `symfony/ux-autocomplete` version 2.11.2.
### Workarounds
Upgrade to version 2.11.2 or greater of `symfony/ux-autocomplete` or perform extra validation after submit to verify the selected option is valid.
