How to Fix CVE-2024-50341

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Symfony's `Security dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

symfony/security-bundle fixed: 6.4.10 
Upgrade symfony/security-bundle to 6.4.10
symfony/security-bundle fixed: 7.0.10 
Upgrade symfony/security-bundle to 7.0.10
symfony/security-bundle fixed: 7.1.3 
Upgrade symfony/security-bundle to 7.1.3
symfony/symfony fixed: 6.4.10 
Upgrade symfony/symfony to 6.4.10
symfony/symfony fixed: 7.0.10 
Upgrade symfony/symfony to 7.0.10
symfony/symfony fixed: 7.1.3 
Upgrade symfony/symfony to 7.1.3
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 symfony/security-bundle

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-50341, inspect your project dependencies for Symfony's `Security:

inspect dependencies for symfony/security-bundle

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Symfony's `Security in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 6.4.10), 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-287: Improper Authentication, where when an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct. In Symfony's `Security, 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 custom `user_checker` defined on a firewall is not called when Login Programmaticaly with the `Security::login` method, leading to unwanted login. ### Resolution The `Security::login` method now ensure to call the configured `user_checker`. The patch for this issue is available [here](https://github.com/symfony/symfony/commit/22a0789a0085c3ee96f4ef715ecad8255cf0e105) for branch 6.4. ### Credits We would like to thank Oleg Andreyev, Antoine MAKDESSI for reporting the issue and Christian Flothmann for providing the fix.
