CVE-2026-46683
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedSnappy is a PHP library allowing thumbnail, snapshot or PDF generation from a url or a html page. Prior to version 1.7.0, there is a SSRF and local file read vulnerability via the xsl-style-sheet option. This issue has been patched in version 1.7.0.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceSnappy is a PHP library for generating thumbnails, snapshots, and PDFs from URLs or HTML. Prior to version 1.7.0, the xsl-style-sheet option contains a vulnerability allowing both Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and local file read attacks, enabling attackers to make the server request arbitrary URLs or read sensitive local files.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate Snappy installationCheck your project for the presence of the Snappy library. Look for a vendor/knplabs/knp-snappy directory, or search your composer.json for 'knplabs/knp-snappy' or 'snappy' in the require section.Affected if The Snappy PHP library is not present in your project.
-
Determine installed versionExamine your composer.lock file for the 'knplabs/knp-snappy' package entry and note the installed version number. Alternatively, check the version.php file within the vendor/knplabs/knp-snappy/src directory.Affected if The version is lower than 1.7.0 (e.g., 1.6.x, 1.5.x, etc.).
-
Identify xsl-style-sheet usageSearch your codebase for calls to Snappy methods that include the 'xsl-style-sheet' option, such as ->setOption('xsl-style-sheet', $value) or configurations passing this option to the Snappy constructor or output method.Affected if Your code passes any value (especially user-supplied or external input) to the xsl-style-sheet option.
-
Assess input sourceReview how the xsl-style-sheet option value is obtained. Determine whether it comes from user input, URL parameters, configuration files with external data, or other untrusted sources.Affected if The xsl-style-sheet value can be influenced by user input or external sources (URLs, file paths from requests, etc.).
You are affected if your project uses Snappy PHP library version prior to 1.7.0 AND utilizes the xsl-style-sheet option with values that could be controlled by attackers, enabling them to perform SSRF attacks or read local files.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade Snappy PHP library to version 1.7.0 or later to remediate the SSRF and local file read vulnerability.
1.7.0
- Check the current version of knplabs/knp-snappy-bundle or the snappy library in your composer.json
- Update the version requirement in composer.json to ^1.7.0 or 1.7.0
- Run 'composer update knplabs/knp-snappy-bundle' or 'composer update' to install the fixed version
- Verify the installed version is 1.7.0 or later using 'composer show knplabs/knp-snappy-bundle'
- Test your application to ensure the Snappy functionality still works correctly after the upgrade
