Description
The ux_icon() Twig function is marked is_safe=['html'], so Twig never escapes its output. Icon::toHtml() inlines the SVG source verbatim into the page. Browsers execute <script> elements and on* event-handler attributes found inside inline SVG, making any unsanitized icon a vector for cross-site scripting.
Two code paths were affected. In the local file path, Icon::fromFile() only stripped <script> elements that were direct children of <svg>, leaving nested scripts and all on* attributes untouched despite a code comment claiming broader protection. In the Iconify on-demand path (enabled by default), the remote JSON body field was wrapped into an Icon object with no sanitization at all. Concrete attack vectors include a malicious SVG icon pack from a third-party theme or downloaded icon set, or a controlled Iconify endpoint configured via iconify.endpoint (including a poisoned cache).
Resolution
Introducing an IconFactory that centralizes sanitization across every icon source before an Icon object is created. The sanitizer removes script-capable elements (script, foreignObject, iframe, object, embed), SMIL animations targeting on*, href, or xlink:href attributes, CDATA sections, processing instructions, all on* attributes, and javascript:, vbscript:, and data:text/html URL schemes.
<style> elements are kept for theming but have any handlers stripped. Icons that contain none of these constructs are byte-for-byte identical after sanitization.
Credits
Symfony would like to thank Pascal Cescon for reporting the issue and Hugo Alliaume for providing the fix.

Concrete attack vectors include a malicious SVG icon pack from a third-party theme or downloaded icon set, or a controlled Iconify endpoint configured via iconify.endpoint (including a poisoned cache).
Resolution
Introducing an IconFactory that centralizes sanitization across every icon source before an Icon object is created. The sanitizer removes script-capable elements (script, foreignObject, iframe, object, embed), SMIL animations targeting on*, href, or xlink:href attributes, CDATA sections, processing instructions, all on* attributes, and javascript:, vbscript:, and data:text/html URL schemes.
<style> elements are kept for theming but have any handlers stripped. Icons that contain none of these constructs are byte-for-byte identical after sanitization.

Symfony would like to thank Pascal Cescon for reporting the issue and Hugo Alliaume for providing the fix.
symfony/ux-icons: XSS via unsanitized SVG content in local files and Iconify on-demand responses

Description
The ux_icon() Twig function is marked is_safe=['html'], so Twig never escapes its output. Icon::toHtml() inlines the SVG source verbatim into the page. Browsers execute <script> elements and on* event-handler attributes found inside inline SVG, making any unsanitized icon a vector for cross-site scripting.
Two code paths were affected. In the local file path, Icon::fromFile() only stripped <script> elements that were direct children of <svg>, leaving nested scripts and all on* attributes untouched despite a code comment claiming broader protection. In the Iconify on-demand path (enabled by default), the remote JSON body field was wrapped into an Icon object with no sanitization at all. Concrete attack vectors include a malicious SVG icon pack from a third-party theme or downloaded icon set, or a controlled Iconify endpoint configured via iconify.endpoint (including a poisoned cache).
