How to fix?

Overview

symfony/symfony is a PHP framework for web applications and a set of reusable PHP components.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authentication since the remember me cookie is not invalidated anymore after the user changes its password.

Attackers can 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.
