Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Symfony HTTP Foundation (symfony/http-foundation and symfony/symfony) is vulnerable in versions 2.7.0 through 2.7.48, 2.8.0 through 2.8.43, 3.3.0 through 3.3.17, 3.4.0 through 3.4.13, 4.0.0 through 4.0.13, and 4.1.0 through 4.1.2. Any client that can send requests to an affected application can use the X-Original-URL or X-Rewrite-URL headers to override the request path, enabling web cache poisoning. Upgrade to 2.7.49, 2.8.44, 3.3.18, 3.4.14, 4.0.14, or 4.1.3 as appropriate for your branch.
