How to Fix CVE-2013-1348

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Symfony/symfony dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

symfony/symfony fixed: 2.0.22 
Upgrade symfony/symfony to 2.0.22
symfony/yaml fixed: 2.0.22 
Upgrade symfony/yaml to 2.0.22
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for symfony/symfony

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2013-1348, inspect your project dependencies for Symfony/symfony:

inspect dependencies for symfony/symfony

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Symfony/symfony in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.0.22), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. In Symfony/symfony, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

The `Yaml::parse` function in Symfony 2.0.x before 2.0.22 remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a PHP file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-1397.
