Off-route URL generation via skipped dot-segment encoding
Published Jul 14, 2026 · Updated Jul 14, 2026
Encoding errors in Symfony Routing allow remote attackers to generate URLs that resolve to unintended paths under RFC 3986 normalization. UrlGenerator::doGenerate() used strtr() on the generated path, whose consumed trailing slash left every other adjacent ./ or ../ segment unencoded. Exploitation requires a route parameter that accepts dots and slashes and user interaction with a generated link through a strict RFC 3986 consumer; normalization then leaves the intended route.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
