How to Fix CVE-2024-37156

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

sulu/form-bundle fixed: 2.5.3 
Upgrade sulu/form-bundle to 2.5.3
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 sulu/form-bundle

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-37156, inspect your project dependencies for Sulu/form bundle:

inspect dependencies for sulu/form-bundle

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Sulu/form bundle in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.5.3), 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-80: Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page (Basic XSS), where the product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special characters such as "<", ">", and "&" that could be interpreted as web-scripting elements when they are sent to a downstream component that processes web pages. In Sulu/form bundle, 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.
