SCA: security update for symfony/security-http, symfony/symfony (GHSA-m2wj-r6g3-fxfx)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 416668

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. Starting
in versions 5.4.21 and 6.2.7 and prior to versions 5.4.31 and 6.3.8, `SessionStrategyListener` does not
migrate the session after every successful login. It does so only in case the logged in user changes by
means of checking the user identifier. In some use cases, the user identifier doesn't change between the
verification phase and the successful login, while the token itself changes from one type (partially-
authenticated) to another (fully-authenticated). When this happens, the session id should be regenerated
to prevent possible session fixations, which is not the case at the moment. As of versions 5.4.31 and
6.3.8, Symfony now checks the type of the token in addition to the user identifier before deciding whether
the session id should be regenerated. (CVE-2023-46733)
