In Symfony before versions 4.4.7 and 5.0.7, when a Response does not contain a Content-Type header, affected versions of Symfony can fallback to the format defined in the Accept header of the request, leading to a possible mismatch between the response's content and Content-Type header. When the response is cached, this can prevent the use of the website by other users. This has been patched in versions 4.4.7 and 5.0.7.

Weakness

An interaction error occurs when two entities have correct behavior when running independently of each other, but when they are integrated as components in a larger system or process, they introduce incorrect behaviors that may cause resultant weaknesses.
