GHSA-8wx3-8m4x-g5h4: FOSUserBundle User Identity Validation Vulnerability

May 15, 2024 (updated July 16, 2026)

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.
