symfony/security-bundle is a module for the Symphony PHP framework which provides a tight integration of the Security component into the Symfony full-stack framework. The custom `user_checker` defined on a firewall is not called when Login Programmaticaly with the `Security::login` method, leading to unwanted login. As of versions 6.4.10, 7.0.10 and 7.1.3 the `Security::login` method now ensure to call the configured `user_checker`. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
