symfony/ux-live-component: XSS via attacker-controlled child component tag

Published Jun 19, 2026·Updated Jun 19, 2026

Description

### Description `Symfony\UX\LiveComponent\Util\ChildComponentPartialRenderer::createHtml()` interpolates the `$childTag` argument directly into the HTML output as a tag name, without escaping or validation. The value originates from client-controlled JSON (`children[id].tag`) parsed by `LiveComponentSubscriber` and propagated through `InterceptChildComponentRenderSubscriber`, so an attacker who can reach the Live Component endpoint can inject arbitrary HTML, including `<script>` tags, on any re-render of a Live Component that contains at least one child component. In the default configuration, the Live Component endpoint is gated by an `Accept: application/vnd.live-component+html` request-header check that cannot be set cross-origin without a CORS preflight, so the issue is primarily a defense-in-depth gap. It becomes directly exploitable on applications that have relaxed CORS to allow this header from untrusted origins, or that have been pivoted from another same-origin XSS. ### Resolution `ChildComponentPartialRenderer` now validates `$childTag` against a strict HTML tag-name regex before interpolating it, and rejects any value that doesn't match. Anything that wouldn't be a valid HTML tag is dropped before reaching the response. The patch for this issue is available [here](https://github.com/symfony/ux/commit/fbc5e9a1bda7e4556be21bb1d970f382760ed9a9) for branch 2.x (and forward-ported to 3.x). ### Credits Symfony would like to thank Pascal Cescon for reporting the issue and Hugo Alliaume for providing the fix.
