CVE-2026-45068

What it is

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, SendmailTransport in -t mode appended recipient addresses to the sendmail command line without a -- end-of-options separator, allowing an address beginning with - to be interpreted as a sendmail command-line option instead of an address. This issue is fixed in versions 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12.
