CAS user impersonation via Host-derived service URL
Published Jul 14, 2026 · Updated Jul 14, 2026
Authentication bypass in Symfony Security HTTP 7.1.0 through 7.4.11 and 8.0.0 through 8.0.11 allows remote attackers to impersonate CAS users. Cas2Handler derives the CAS service parameter from Request::getSchemeAndHttpHost(), accepting an attacker-controlled Host header as the ticket's target service. Exploitation requires absent trusted-host configuration, control of another application registered to the same CAS server, and a victim ticket; success authenticates the attacker as that victim.
