The affected context

symfony/ux-live-component
source listedECOSYSTEM: introduced 2.8.0; fixed 2.36.0
### Description `Symfony\UX\LiveComponent\Util\ChildComponentPartialRenderer::createHtml()` interpolates the `$childTag` argument directly into the HTML output as a tag name, without escaping or validation. The value originates from client-controlled JSON (`children[id].tag`) parsed by `LiveComponentSubscriber` and propagated through `InterceptChildComponentRenderSubscriber`, so an attacker who can reach the Live Component endpoint can inject arbitrary HTML, including `` tags, on any re-render of a Live Component that contains at least one child component. In the default configuration, the Live Component endpoint is gated by an `Accept: application/vnd.live-component+html` request-header check that cannot be set cross-origin without a CORS preflight, so the issue is primarily a defense-in-depth gap. It becomes directly exploitable on applications that have relaxed CORS to allow this header from untrusted origins, or that have been pivoted from another same-origin XSS. ### Resolution `ChildComponentPartialRenderer` now validates `$childTag` against a strict HTML tag-name regex before interpolating it, and rejects any value that doesn't match. Anything that wouldn't be a

A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
