Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. Prior to 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12, the server:log listener (Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Command\ServerLogCommand) binds to 0.0.0.0:9911 by default and processes each received frame with unserialize(base64_decode($message)) without authentication, integrity checks, or an allowed_classes allowlist, allowing any reachable host to submit attacker-chosen serialized PHP payloads that can crash the listener and may trigger object-injection gadget effects. This issue is fixed in versions 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12.

- GHSA-m7v2-7gxm-vc2vSymfony has Unauthenticated PHP Object Deserialization in MonologBridge server:log Listener2026-05-27ghsa · osvUS
### Description `Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Command\ServerLogCommand` (the `server:log` console command) is a development-time helper that opens a TCP listener and displays log records pushed to it by the application's logging pipeline. Two unsafe defaults combine into a remotely reachable PHP object-deserialization sink: 1. The listener binds to `0.0.0.0:9911` by default; it accepts connections on every interface, not only loopback. 2. Each received frame is processed as `unserialize(base64_decode($message))` without an `allowed_classes` allowlist, without authentication, and without any integrity check. The decoded value is then passed to `displayLog(..., array $record)` which assumes (without validating) that the result is an array. Any host that can reach TCP port 9911 on a machine running `server:log` can therefore submit attacker-chosen serialized PHP payloads. The minimum impact is an unauthenticated denial of service (sending a non-array, e.g. `serialize(new stdClass())`, crashes the listener with a type error). Object injection with magic-method side effects (`__wakeup()` / `__destruct()` / etc.) is reachable before the array type-check fires; full remote code execution is environment-dependent and contingent on usable gadget chains in the autoload set of the target process. ### Resolution The `server:log` command no longer binds to all interfaces by default: the default `--host` is now `127.0.0.1:9911`, requiring explicit opt-in to accept off-host traffic. Message decoding is gated by an `unserialize()` allowlist restricted to the `Symfony\Component\VarDumper\Caster\*` and `Symfony\Component\VarDumper\Cloner\*` classes that legitimately appear inside dumped log records; any other class is rejected and the record discarded. The patch for this issue is available [here](https://github.com/symfony/symfony/commit/0891b2f293896c488e26943dc034334364b77fc4) for branch 5.4. ### Credits Symfony would like to thank Toàn Thắng and Sam Sanoop for reporting the issue and Nicolas Grekas for fixing it.
