**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Symfony versions 2.3.x through 2.3.26 Symfony versions 2.4.x through 2.5.10 Symfony versions 2.6.x through 2.6.5 **Description** The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a `language="php"` attribute of a `SCRIPT` element. Applications with ESI support enabled and using the Symfony built-in reverse proxy are vulnerable to PHP code injection. A malicious user can inject PHP code that will be executed by the server. The vulnerability comes from the use of `eval()` to execute files in the cache when they contain ESI tags, and the fact that PHP allows contents of `<script language="php">` tags to be executed. This issue can be exploited in combination with Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities, allowing an attacker to conduct a PHP code injection attack by passing a malicious tag in a user-submitted variable. **Recommendations** For Symfony versions 2.3.x through 2.3.26, update to version 2.3.27 or later. For Symfony versions 2.4.x through 2.5.10, update to version 2.5.11 or later. For Symfony versions 2.6.x through 2.6.5, update to version 2.6.6 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the ESI support in the Symfony built-in reverse proxy until a patch is available. Restrict access to the `HttpCache` class to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `language` attribute in the `SCRIPT` element until the issue is resolved.
