Symfony has an Authentication Bypass via RememberMe
🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)
📋 Description
Description
When consuming a persisted remember-me cookie, Symfony does not check if the username persisted in the database matches the username attached with the cookie, leading to authentication bypass.
Resolution
The PersistentRememberMeHandler class now ensures the submitted username is the cookie owner.
The patch for this issue is available here for branch 5.4.
