GHSA-3rg7-wf37-54rm
No affected components available
Description
The Request class improperly interprets some PATH_INFO in a way that leads to representing some URLs with a path that doesn't start with a /. This can allow bypassing some access control rules that are built with this /-prefix assumption.
Resolution
The Request class now ensures that URL paths always start with a /.
The patch for this issue is available here for branch 5.4.
