Description
Description
When consuming a persisted remember-me cookie, Symfony does not check if the username persisted in the database matches the username attached with the cookie, leading to authentication bypass.
Resolution
The `PersistentRememberMeHandler` class now ensures the submitted username is the cookie owner.
The patch for this issue is available here for branch 5.4.
Credits
We would like to thank Moritz Rauch - Pentryx AG for reporting the issue and Jérémy Derussé for providing the fix.
