CVE-2020-5255

Prevent cache poisoning via a Response Content-Type header

Published Mar 30, 2020 CVSS 3.1 · 2.6 Low EPSS 1.3% KEV · Not listed
Description
In Symfony before versions 4.4.7 and 5.0.7, when a `Response` does not contain a `Content-Type` header, affected versions of Symfony can fallback to the format defined in the `Accept` header of the request, leading to a possible mismatch between the response's content and `Content-Type` header. When the response is cached, this can prevent the use of the website by other users. This has been patched in versions 4.4.7 and 5.0.7.
