Symfony vulnerable to command execution hijack on Windows with Process class
### Description

On Windows, when an executable file named `cmd.exe` is located in the current working directory it will be called by the `Process` class when preparing command arguments, leading to possible hijacking.

### Resolution

The `Process` class now uses the absolute path to `cmd.exe`.

The patch for this issue is available [here](https://github.com/symfony/symfony/commit/18ecd03eda3917fdf901a48e72518f911c64a1c9) for branch 5.4.

We would like to thank Jordi Boggiano for reporting the issue and Nicolas Grekas for providing the fix.

Symfony allows internal address and port enumeration by NoPrivateNetworkHttpClient
### Description

When using the `NoPrivateNetworkHttpClient`, some internal information is still leaking during host resolution, which leads to possible IP/port enumeration.

### Resolution

The `NoPrivateNetworkHttpClient` now filters blocked IPs earlier to prevent such leaks.

The fisrt patch for this issue is available [here](https://github.com/symfony/symfony/commit/296d4b34a33b1a6ca5475c6040b3203622520f5b) for branch 5.4.

The second one is available [here](https://github.com/symfony/symfony/commit/b4bf5afdbdcb2fd03da513ee03beeabeb551e5fa) for branch 5.4 also.

Symfony vulnerable to open redirect via browser-sanitized URLs
### Description

The `Request` class, does not parse URI with special characters the same way browsers do. As a result, an attacker can trick a validator relying on the `Request` class to redirect users to another domain.

### Resolution

The `Request::create` methods now assert the URI does not contain invalid characters as defined by https://url.spec.whatwg.org/

The patch for this issue is available [here](https://github.com/symfony/symfony/commit/5a9b08e5740af795854b1b639b7d45b9cbfe8819) for branch 5.4.

Symfony potential Cross-site Scripting vulnerabilities in CodeExtension filters
Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. Starting in versions 2.0.0, 5.0.0, and 6.0.0 and prior to versions 4.4.51, 5.4.31, and 6.3.8, some Twig filters in CodeExtension use `is_safe=html` but don't actually ensure their input is safe. As of versions 4.4.51, 5.4.31, and 6.3.8, Symfony now escapes the output of the affected filters.

Symfony has an incorrect response from Validator when input ends with `\n`
### Description

It is possible to trick a `Validator` configured with a regular expression using the `$` metacharacters, with an input ending with `\n`.

### Resolution

Symfony now uses the `D` regex modifier to match the entire input.

The patch for this issue is available [here](https://github.com/symfony/symfony/commit/7d1032bbead9a4229b32fa6ebca32681c80cb76f) for branch 5.4.

We would like to thank Offscript for reporting the issue and Alexandre Daubois for providing the fix.

Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements in a CSV File
`Symfony/Serializer` handles serializing and deserializing data structures for Symfony, a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. Symfony is vulnerable to CSV injection, also known as formula injection. In Symfony, maintainers added the opt-in `csv_escape_formulas` option in the `CsvEncoder`, to prefix all cells starting with `=`, `+`, `-` or `@` with a tab `\t`. Since then, OWASP added 2 chars in that list, Tab (0x09) and Carriage return (0x0D). This makes the previous prefix char (Tab `\t`) part of the vulnerable characters, and OWASP suggests using the single quote `'` for prefixing the value.

Symfony's incorrect argument escaping under MSYS2/Git Bash can lead to destructive file operations on Windows
### Summary
The Symfony Process component did not correctly treat some characters (notably `=`) as “special” when escaping arguments on Windows. When PHP is executed from an MSYS2-based environment (e.g. Git Bash) and Symfony Process spawns native Windows executables, MSYS2’s argument/path conversion can mishandle unquoted arguments containing these characters.

This can cause the spawned process to receive corrupted/truncated arguments compared to what Symfony intended.

### Impact
If an application (or tooling such as Composer scripts) uses Symfony Process to invoke file-management commands (e.g. `rmdir`, `del`, etc.) with a path argument containing `=`, the MSYS2 conversion layer may alter the argument at runtime. In affected setups this can result in operations being performed on an unintended path, up to and including deletion of the contents of a broader directory or drive.

The issue is particularly relevant when untrusted input can influence process arguments (directly or indirectly, e.g. via repository paths, extracted archive paths, temporary directories, or user-controlled configuration).

### Resolution
Upgrade to a Symfony release that includes the fix from symfony/symfony#63164 (which updates Windows argument escaping to ensure arguments containing = and other MSYS2-sensitive characters are properly quoted/escaped).
The patch for branch 5.4 is available at https://github.com/symfony/symfony/commit/ec154f6f95f8c60f831998ec4d246a857e9d179b

### Workarounds / Mitigations
Avoid running PHP/your tooling from MSYS2-based shells on Windows; prefer cmd.exe or PowerShell for workflows that spawn native executables.
Avoid passing paths containing `=` (and similar MSYS2-sensitive characters) to Symfony Process when operating under Git Bash/MSYS2.
Where applicable, configure MSYS2 to disable or restrict argument conversion (e.g. via `MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL`), understanding this may affect other tooling behavior.

Symfony's incorrect parsing of PATH_INFO can lead to limited authorization bypass
The `Request` class improperly interprets some `PATH_INFO` in a way that leads to representing some URLs with a path that doesn't start with a `/`. This can allow bypassing some access control rules that are built with this `/`-prefix assumption.
