CVE-2026-49216: symfony/ux-autocomplete: XSS via unescaped AJAX response data

June 19, 2026

The Stimulus controller shipped with symfony/ux-autocomplete renders AJAX response items into the dropdown by interpolating the text field directly into HTML template literals (<div>${item[labelField]}</div>) inside _createAutocompleteWithRemoteData(). The value is parsed as HTML rather than text, so any markup contained in the AJAX response is executed by the browser.

When the dropdown values are derived from user-supplied content, an attacker can craft a string that triggers stored XSS in the browser of any other user who later opens a page containing an autocomplete widget backed by the same data.
