Symfony UX: Denial of service in symfony/ux-live-component via unbounded batch action requests
Symfony UX is a JavaScript ecosystem for Symfony. From 2.5.0 until 2.36.0 and 3.1.0, Symfony\UX\LiveComponent\Controller\BatchActionController::__invoke() iterates over the client-supplied actions array and issues a full HttpKernel sub-request for each entry; because the array size is never bounded, an authenticated client can submit a single _batch request containing thousands of actions and exhaust CPU, memory, and database connections on the application server. This issue is fixed in versions 2.36.0 and 3.1.0.

Exploit status
No known public exploit
No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.
Research context
For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.
