Description
Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. Prior to 7.4.12 and 8.0.12, MailtrapRequestParser::doParse() received the configured webhook secret but ignored the X-Mt-Signature HMAC header, allowing unauthenticated POST requests to inject forged Mailtrap delivery, bounce, open, click, or spam events. This issue is fixed in versions 7.4.12 and 8.0.12.

Impact

Symfony's MailtrapRequestParser ignores the X‑Mt‑Signature HMAC header even though it receives the configured webhook secret, allowing unauthenticated POST requests to forge Mailtrap delivery, bounce, open, click, or spam events. An attacker could inject false notifications, potentially misleading monitoring or analytics systems. This flaw represents a missing signature verification (CWE‑306) and an unvalidated header usage (CWE‑347).

Affected Systems

Vendors: Mailtrap Mailer and Symfony. Product: the MailtrapRequestParser component within the Symfony framework. Versions affected are all releases prior to Symfony 7.4.12 and 8.0.12; specifically, Symfony 7.4.x before 7.4.12 and Symfony 8.0.x before 8.0.12. No further version details are provided.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 6.9 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low probability of exploitation at this time, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is an unauthenticated POST request to the webhook endpoint with a forged or missing X‑Mt‑Signature header, allowing injection of arbitrary event data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Symfony to version 7.4.12 or later, or 8.0.12 or later.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict the webhook endpoint to trusted IP addresses or enforce additional authentication mechanisms.
  • Add a server‑side check that verifies the X‑Mt‑Signature header and rejects any POST request that does not contain a valid HMAC based on the configured webhook secret.
