Details
FragmentListener in the HttpKernel component in Symfony 2.3.19 through 2.3.28, 2.4.9 through 2.4.10, 2.5.4 through 2.5.11, and 2.6.0 through 2.6.7, when ESI or SSI support enabled, does not check if the _controller attribute is set, which allows remote attackers to bypass URL signing and security rules by including (1) no hash or (2) an invalid hash in a request to /_fragment.
This issue has been fixed in Symfony 2.3.29, 2.5.12, and 2.6.8. Note that no fixes are provided for Symfony 2.4 as it's not maintained anymore.
Is GHSA-qmqw-mpqp-mr54 in any of your client repos?
Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected symfony/http-kernel, and gives you the command that fixes it.
