Symfony UX: XSS in symfony/ux-autocomplete via unescaped AJAX response data

Published Jul 17, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 5.1 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Symfony UX is a JavaScript ecosystem for Symfony. From 2.2.0 until 2.36.0 and 3.1.0, the Stimulus controller in symfony/ux-autocomplete renders AJAX response items in _createAutocompleteWithRemoteData() by interpolating the text field into HTML template literals (<div>${item[labelField]}</div>) rather than text, allowing attacker-controlled markup from user-supplied dropdown values to execute in the browser of any user who opens an autocomplete widget backed by the same data. This issue is fixed in versions 2.36.0 and 3.1.0.
