  - The Symfony Serializer component DataUriNormalizer::denormalize() matches the data: scheme with a case-
    sensitive regular expression, allowing a value with an uppercase scheme, such as
    DATA:,/../../../etc/passwd, to bypass it, resulting in Arbitrary Local File Read through Path Traversal in
    Symfony versions prior to 5.4.56, 6.x prior to 6.4.50, 7.x prior to 7.4.23, and 8.x prior to 8.1.11. A
    value whose scheme is not lowercase data: are treated as a local file path and opened instead of being
    decoded as inline data, so the resulting File, \SplFileInfo, or \SplFileObject points at a file on the
    server, which the application then handles as the uploaded content. Any endpoint that deserializes
    untrusted input into one of these types is affected. FrameworkBundle registers DataUriNormalizer ahead of
    ObjectNormalizer by default. A single request with a crafted DATA: value is enough to read arbitrary local
    files that the application can access, with no authentication needed if the endpoint is public.
