Symfony Framework Security

Symfony Penetration Testing

Let us hack your Symfony web application instead of a real hacker. We find vulnerabilities before it's too late.

Our specialized penetration tests scrutinize your Symfony applications down to the smallest detail. By conducting targeted attacks, we identify vulnerabilities.

My Recommendation

Framework expertise meets offensive testing

Symfony can be operated securely if coding guidelines and security components are consistently applied. We test your application with a focus on typical developer pitfalls and deliver concrete recommendations for your team.
Audit Focus

What we test in Symfony projects

  • Symfony Components & Security Bundle

    Security Voters, Guard Authenticators, Firewall configurations and Custom Authentication Providers for bypasses.

  • Twig Templates & SSTI

    Server-Side Template Injections, unsafe filter usage, raw output and custom extensions for RCE potential.

  • Doctrine ORM & API Platform

    DQL injections, QueryBuilder bypasses, mass assignment and API Platform serialization issues.

Twig SSTI in email templates = RCE. Symfony apps are powerful, but template security is often neglected.

Why Symfony projects need regular penetration tests

Symfony is the leading enterprise PHP framework for complex web applications and APIs - highly flexible, component-based and perfect for SaaS platforms. But this flexibility comes at a price: Server-Side Template Injections in Twig, Security Voter bypasses, Doctrine ORM misuse, .env file exposures and vulnerable bundles regularly lead to critical vulnerabilities - from SSTI-RCE to authorization bypasses to full database dumps via DQL injections.

Twig SSTI & Remote Code Execution Server-Side Template Injections in Twig templates - especially in email templates, custom filters and dynamically loaded templates - regularly lead to RCE. Twig is powerful, but unsafe usage is dangerous.

Security Voters & Authorization Bypasses Custom Security Voters, misconfigured firewalls, Guard Authenticator bypasses and access control issues in Symfony's Security Component - authorization logic is complex and error-prone.

Doctrine ORM & DQL Injections DQL injections in custom queries, QueryBuilder bypasses, mass assignment vulnerabilities and unsafe entity hydration - Doctrine is not automatically injection-safe.

We deliver prioritized results with PoC code, concrete fix recommendations for your dev team and - if desired - management summaries for stakeholders and compliance audits.

What security vulnerabilities do we find during a Symfony pentest?

Symfony pentests uncover a broad spectrum of vulnerabilities - from Twig SSTI to Security Voter bypasses to Doctrine injections, API Platform issues and OWASP Top 10.

Twig SSTI & Remote Code Execution

Server-Side Template Injections in Twig - especially in email templates, custom filters and dynamically loaded templates. {{ user_input|raw }}, unsafe sandbox() and custom extensions lead to RCE.

Security Voters & Authorization Bypasses

Misconfigured firewalls, custom Security Voter bypasses, Guard Authenticator issues and access control errors in @IsGranted() - Symfony's Security Component is powerful, but complex.

Doctrine ORM & DQL Injections

DQL injections in custom queries, unsafe QueryBuilder usage with user input, mass assignment vulnerabilities in entity hydration and ORM query bypasses - Doctrine is not automatically secure.

API Platform & Serialization Issues

Unsafe serialization groups, missing denormalizationContext protection, mass assignment via POST/PUT and authorization bypasses in custom operations - API Platform often exposes too much.

.env & Configuration Leaks

Exposed .env files, debug mode in production (APP_ENV=dev), verbose error messages and Symfony Profiler access - configuration issues reveal credentials and infrastructure details.

XSS, CSRF & Vulnerable Bundles

XSS despite Twig auto-escaping (via raw filter), missing CSRF protection in custom forms and vulnerable third-party bundles - the bundle ecosystem is large, but not always secure.

How much does a Symfony pentest cost?

The price depends on complexity - simple REST APIs vs. enterprise SaaS platforms with API Platform, multi-tenancy and complex Security Voters make the difference.
