Vulnerability Data
Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. Prior to 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12, UrlGenerator validates route parameters against a pattern built as ^ plus the raw requirement plus $;…

with ungrouped alternations, middle alternatives match as unanchored substrings, allowing a value such as //evil.com to satisfy a common locale requirement and generate a protocol-relative off-site URL. This issue is fixed in versions 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover regex that fails to match or compare data as intended.
Input validation directly checks and rejects untrusted redirect targets before they are used in a response.
Information flow enforcement can restrict redirects to only approved/trusted destinations, stopping untrusted user-supplied URLs from being followed.
Requiring documented development standards and tools reduces the chance that incorrect regular expressions are written into validation or filtering logic.
An SDLC that incorporates security can embed reviews or tooling that catch malformed regular expressions before deployment.

Secure SDLC practices directly require correct regex design, testing, and review to avoid improper matching.

Security testing in development can detect regex-related flaws before release.
Preventing access to attacker-controlled or malicious sites stops users from being redirected to untrusted locations via open-redirect or phishing links.
Secure development lifecycle includes validation of input-handling constructs such as regex.
Application security requirements can mandate correct regex design and testing.
Secure coding standards directly address proper construction and review of regular expressions.
