CVE-2026-45133: Symfony hardened the parser when handling untrusted input

May 27, 2026

Symfony\Component\Yaml\Parser is the entry point for parsing YAML strings into PHP values via Yaml::parse(). When the parser is exposed to attacker-controlled input, deeply nested mappings or sequences cause both the block-level (Parser::parseBlock()) and inline (Inline::parseSequence() / Inline::parseMapping()) parsers to recurse without a depth limit. A crafted document exhausts the PHP stack and crashes the worker.
