symfony/dom-crawler is vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE)
37
Low Risk
This Affects:
symfony/dom-crawlerTL;DR
Crawler::addXmlContent() enables DOMDocument::validateOnParse before loading XML. That setting can re-enable external entity resolution for local file URLs even when network loading is disabled. Pre-fix parsing of attacker-controlled XML can disclose local file contents through expanded entities. The fix stops enabling validation during XML parsing.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
