CVE-2018-19789: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type
(updated )
When using the scalar type hint string in a setter method (e.g. setName(string $name)) of a class that’s the data_class of a form, and when a file upload is submitted to the corresponding field instead of a normal text input, then UploadedFile::__toString() is called which will then return and disclose the path of the uploaded file. If combined with a local file inclusion issue in certain circumstances this could escalate it to a Remote Code Execution.
