CVE-2026-45070: Symfony has Email Header Injection via Non-Token Characters in Mime Parameter Names

Symfony\Component\Mime\Header\ParameterizedHeader (and the related parameter handling reachable from Symfony\Component\Mime\Header\Headers) is responsible for serializing structured headers such as Content-Type and Content-Disposition, which carry key=value parameters (e.g. Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="x").

RFC 2045 / RFC 5322 require parameter names to be tokens: a restricted ASCII subset that excludes whitespace, CR/LF, and the tspecials set. Symfony’s parameter handling validates and properly encodes parameter values, but does not validate parameter names: the supplied name is emitted verbatim into the serialized header.

A caller that derives a parameter name from untrusted input, e.g. an application that lets a user influence a Content-Disposition parameter name, can include \r\n or other non-token bytes inside the name, terminating the current header and injecting additional headers in the rendered message. This is the classic CRLF / header-injection primitive applied to the parameter-name slot.
