How to Fix GHSA-2frx-j9hj-6c65

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Lexik/jwt authentication bundle dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

lexik/jwt-authentication-bundle fixed: 2.10.7 
Upgrade lexik/jwt-authentication-bundle to 2.10.7
lexik/jwt-authentication-bundle fixed: 2.11.3 
Upgrade lexik/jwt-authentication-bundle to 2.11.3
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for lexik/jwt-authentication-bundle

How to Check if You Are Affected

inspect dependencies for lexik/jwt-authentication-bundle

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Lexik/jwt authentication bundle in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.10.7), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In Lexik/jwt authentication bundle, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Description ----------- The ability to enumerate users was possible without relevant permissions due to different exception messages depending on whether the user existed or not. Resolution ---------- We now ensure that a generic message is returned whether the user exists or not if the password is invalid or if the user does not exist. The patch for this issue is available [here](https://github.com/lexik/LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle/commit/a175d6dab968d93e96a3e4f80c495435f71d5eb7) for branch 2.10.x and 2.x. Credits ------- I would like to thank James Isaac and Mathias Brodala for reporting the issue and Robin Chalas for fixing the issue.
