Description

Description

On Symfony before 4.4.0, when a Firewall checks an access control rule (using the unanimous strategy), it iterates over all rule attributes and grant access only if all calls to the accessDecisionManager decide to grant access.

As of Symfony 4.4.0, a bug was introduced that prevents the check of attributes as soon as accessDecisionManager decide to grant access on one attribute.

Resolution

The accessDecisionManager is now called with all attributes at once, allowing the unanimous strategy being applied on each attribute.

The patch for this issue is available here for the 4.4 branch.
