Overview

ezsystems/ezpublish-kernel is a kernel used by ezsystems/ezplatform and derivatives. Provides the Content Repository, its APIs, and the application's Symfony framework integration.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Timing Attack. The /user/sessions endpoint can let an attacker detect if a given username or email refers to a valid account. This can be detected through differences in the response data or response time of certain requests.
