How to fix?

Upgrade symfony/symfony to version 2.7.51, 2.8.50, 4.1.0, 3.4.26, 3.2.0, 4.1.12, 3.1.0, 3.4.0, 3.3.0 or higher.

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 Access Control Bypass. The generateCookieHash function used to create a user's remember me cookie does not contain a delimiter during token generation. As such, an attacker could modify the remember me cookie and authenticate as a different user. This attack is only possible if the remember me functionality is enabled and the two users share a password hash or if the password hashes (e.g. UserInterface::getPassword()) are null for all users (which is valid if passwords are checked by an external system, e.g. an SSO).
