GitHub Vulnerability Alerts

CVE-2026-24739

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 symfony/symfony@ec154f6

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.
