symfony/var-dumper fixed: 7.0.4

Upgrade symfony/var-dumper to 7.0.4

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/var-dumper

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-36610, inspect your project dependencies for Withdrawn Advisory:

inspect dependencies for symfony/var-dumper

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Withdrawn Advisory in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 6.4.4), 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 In Withdrawn Advisory, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.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

## Withdrawn Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because the report is not part of a valid vulnerability. This link is maintained to preserve external references. For more information, see advisory-database/pull/5048. ## Original Description A deserialization vulnerability exists in the Stub class of the VarDumper module in Symfony. The vulnerability stems from deficiencies in the original implementation when handling properties with null or uninitialized values. An attacker could construct specific serialized data and use this vulnerability to execute unauthorized code.
