CVE-2026-45755 — Symfony: Mailtrap Mailer Webhook Parser Never Verifies the X-Mt-Signature HMAC — Unauthenticated Webhook Event Injection

Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. Prior to 7.4.12 and 8.0.12, MailtrapRequestParser::doParse() received the configured webhook secret but ignored the X-Mt-Signature HMAC header, allowing unauthenticated POST requests to inject forged Mailtrap delivery, bounce, open, click, or spam events. This issue is fixed in versions 7.4.12 and 8.0.12.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • Technical severity (medium)+3
  • Automatable exploitation (SSVC)+3

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Exploitation
Not confirmed
Not in CISA KEV — an absence of record, not proof it is unexploited.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (/mailtrap-mailer Mailtrap-mailer, Sensiolabs Symfony, Symfony Symfony).
  2. The attack is network-based and needs no privileges: restrict exposure (ACLs, VPN, WAF) until patched.
  3. Apply the fixed version or the patch documented under Remediation.
  4. Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (authentication), errors and authentication anomalies.
