symfony/security-http is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass by Spoofing
75
High Risk
This Affects:
symfony/security-httpTL;DR
X509Authenticator extracts the user identifier from a client certificate subject DN using an unanchored match. A certificate subject can place an emailAddress fragment inside another RDN value and be interpreted as a different identity. Pre-fix mTLS authentication can accept a certificate as the wrong user when the CA permits such subject values. The fix anchors extraction to RDN boundaries.

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
