GitHub Security Advisory

Symfony allows changing the environment through a query

✓ GitHub Reviewed MODERATE Has CVE

Advisory Details

### Description

When the `register_argc_argv` php directive is set to `on` , and users call any URL with a special crafted query string, they are able to change the environment or debug mode used by the kernel when handling the request.

### Resolution

The `SymfonyRuntime` now ignores the `argv` values for non-cli SAPIs PHP runtimes

The patch for this issue is available [here](https://github.com/symfony/symfony/commit/a77b308c3f179ed7c8a8bc295f82b2d6ee3493fa) for branch 5.4.

### Credits

We would like to thank Vladimir Dusheyko for reporting the issue and Wouter de Jong for providing the fix.
