symfony/html-sanitizerTL;DR
UrlSanitizer allows explicit-direction Unicode BiDi formatting characters in sanitized URL attributes. Those characters can change the visual order of link text or URLs in rendered HTML. Pre-fix sanitized content can display a destination differently from the real link target, enabling phishing-style spoofing. The fix rejects URLs containing those BiDi control characters.
