GHSA-m7v2-7gxm-vc2v

Fix: symfony/symfony@0891b2f

GHSA-m7v2-7gxm-vc2v is a Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in symfony/monolog-bridge. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-m7v2-7gxm-vc2v is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Description

Description

Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Command\ServerLogCommand (the server:log console command) is a development-time helper that opens a TCP listener and displays log records pushed to it by the application's logging pipeline. Two unsafe defaults combine into a remotely reachable PHP object-deserialization sink:

  1. The listener binds to 0.0.0.0:9911 by default; it accepts connections on every interface, not only loopback.
  2. Each received frame is processed as unserialize(base64_decode($message)) without an allowed_classes allowlist, without authentication, and without any integrity check. The decoded value is then passed to displayLog(..., array $record) which assumes (without validating) that the result is an array.

Any host that can reach TCP port 9911 on a machine running server:log can therefore submit attacker-chosen serialized PHP payloads. The minimum impact is an unauthenticated denial of service (sending a non-array, e.g. serialize(new stdClass()), crashes the listener with a type error). Object injection with magic-method side effects (__wakeup() / __destruct() / etc.) is reachable before the array type-check fires; full remote code execution is environment-dependent and contingent on usable gadget chains in the autoload set of the target process.

Resolution

The server:log command no longer binds to all interfaces by default: the default --host is now 127.0.0.1:9911, requiring explicit opt-in to accept off-host traffic. Message decoding is gated by an unserialize() allowlist restricted to the Symfony\Component\VarDumper\Caster\* and Symfony\Component\VarDumper\Cloner\* classes that legitimately appear inside dumped log records; any other class is rejected and the record discarded.

The patch for this issue is available here for branch 5.4.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for symfony/monolog-bridge. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

  2. Fix

    Update symfony/monolog-bridge to 5.4.52 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-m7v2-7gxm-vc2v is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-m7v2-7gxm-vc2v is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Tailored to GHSA-m7v2-7gxm-vc2v. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
