FOSUserBundle User Identity Validation Vulnerability
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (friendsofsymfony/user-bundle 1.2.1), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
Versions of FOSUserBundle prior to 1.2.1 have been found to be vulnerable to a security issue related to user identity validation. Specifically, user refreshing was performed using the primary key instead of the username, leading to a potential security risk if a user is allowed to change their username. The fix in version 1.2.1 addresses this issue by loading the user using the primary key during refreshing.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-8wx3-8m4x-g5h4 Advisory: FOSUserBundle User Identity Validation Vulnerability IDs: GHSA-8wx3-8m4x-g5h4 Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-8wx3-8m4x-g5h4 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:50 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Unrated Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: friendsofsymfony/user-bundle 1.2.1. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Packagist friendsofsymfony/user-bundle: affected >= 1.0.0, < 1.2.1; fixed in 1.2.1 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - Packagist friendsofsymfony/user-bundle: check the installed version with your package manager. ## Supported action Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on friendsofsymfony/user-bundle. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-8wx3-8m4x-g5h4 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-8wx3-8m4x-g5h4 lists affected ranges: Packagist friendsofsymfony/user-bundle >=1.0.0 <1.2.1) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
