symfony/html-sanitizer is vulnerable to Interpretation Conflict
61
Medium Risk
This Affects:
symfony/html-sanitizerTL;DR
allowLinkHosts() and allowMediaHosts() rely on URL parsing that differs from browser URL handling. Backslashes, unusual slash counts, and area element handling can make a URL pass server-side allowlists while navigating elsewhere in the browser. Pre-fix sanitized content can smuggle off-allowlist link or media targets. The fix rejects parser-differential URL forms and applies link policy to area elements.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
