SCA: security update for symfony/security-bundle, symfony/symfony (GHSA-qw36-p97w-vcqr)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418352

Description

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

- Symfony/SecurityBundle is the security system for Symfony, a PHP framework for web and console
applications and a set of reusable PHP components. Since the rework of the Remember me cookie in version
5.3.0, the cookie is not invalidated when the user changes their password. Attackers can therefore
maintain their access to the account even if the password is changed as long as they have had the chance
to login once and get a valid remember me cookie. Starting with version 5.3.12, Symfony makes the password
part of the signature by default. In that way, when the password changes, then the cookie is not valid
anymore. (CVE-2021-41268)
