Summary

A vulnerability in Symfony's Form component allows attackers to exploit the handling of submitted data. Due to improper separation of POST data and uploaded files, a crafted HTTP request may result in the transmission of a 'FileType' value interpreted as a server-side local file path. If unchecked by the application, this could lead to the disclosure of sensitive file contents on the server, effectively compromising the security of the affected system.
