### Description `Symfony\Component\HtmlSanitizer\Visitor\AttributeSanitizer\UrlAttributeSanitizer::getSupportedAttributes()` enumerates the attribute names whose values are scrubbed through `UrlSanitizer::sanitize()` (scheme and host allow-lists, `javascript:` rejection, BiDi check, etc.). The list is `['src', 'href', 'lowsrc', 'background', 'ping', 'action', 'formaction', 'poster', 'cite']`. Other URL-bearing attributes are absent: `<object data=…>`, `<applet codebase=…>`, `<applet archive=…>` and `<object archive=…>`, `<iframe longdesc=…>` and `<img longdesc=…>`. When an integrator opts these elements/attributes in via `allowElement('object', ['data'])`, `allowElement('applet', ['codebase'])`, etc., or via `allowAttribute()`, no URL sanitization runs: `data="javascript:alert(1)"` and similar payloads ship through unchanged into the output, enabling stored XSS. `<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=…">` is the same class of bug routed differently: the URL is embedded inside a multi-field `content` attribute that the per-attribute sanitizer cannot detect from the attribute name alone. Integrators who enable `<meta>` with the `content` attribute (e.g. via `allowStaticElements()`) see `content="0; url=javascript:alert(1)"` pass through, producing a refresh-driven navigation to a `javascript:` URL. Default configurations are not affected: `<object>`, `<applet>` and `<iframe>` are not in `W3CReference::BODY_ELEMENTS` and `<meta>` requires an explicit opt-in to `<head>` context. The vulnerability surface is integrators who explicitly allow any of those elements together with the listed URL-bearing attributes. ### Resolution `UrlAttributeSanitizer` now also routes `data`, `codebase`, `archive` and `longdesc` through `UrlSanitizer::sanitize()`. A new `MetaRefreshAttributeSanitizer` registered as a default attribute sanitizer detects the `<delay>; url=<url>` syntax inside `<meta content>`, sanitizes the embedded URL, and drops the attribute if the URL is rejected; non-refresh meta `content` values are passed through unchanged. The patches for this issue are available [here](https://github.com/symfony/symfony/commit/069a70f9f26e61e9de3b7f9a864a86ed24b36bd0) for branch 6.4 (and forward-ported to 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1). ### Credits Symfony would like to thank Scott Arciszewski (Trail of Bits) for reporting the issue and Nicolas Grekas for providing the fix.

AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in composer. A medium vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
