Details

Description -----------

The ability to enumerate users was possible without relevant permissions due to different exception messages depending on whether the user existed or not.

Resolution ----------

We now ensure that a generic message is returned whether the user exists or not if the password is invalid or if the user does not exist.

The patch for this issue is available here for branch 2.10.x and 2.x.

Credits -------

I would like to thank James Isaac and Mathias Brodala for reporting the issue and Robin Chalas for fixing the issue.

Is GHSA-2frx-j9hj-6c65 in any of your client repos?

Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected lexik/jwt-authentication-bundle, and gives you the command that fixes it.
