CVE-2021-41275

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in spree_auth_devise (CVE-2021-41275)

Summary

Vulnerability in spree_auth_devise (CVE-2021-41275). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via spree_auth_devise. Mitigation: upgrade to 4.0.1 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Impact

CSRF vulnerability that allows user account takeover.

All applications using any version of the frontend component of spree_auth_devise are affected if protect_from_forgery method is both:

  • Executed whether as:
    • A before_action callback (the default)
    • A prepend_before_action (option prepend: true given) before the :load_object hook in Spree::UserController (most likely order to find).
  • Configured to use :null_session or :reset_session strategies (:null_session is the default in case the no strategy is given, but rails --new generated skeleton use :exception).

That means that applications that haven't been configured differently from what it's generated with Rails aren't affected.

Thanks @waiting-for-dev for reporting and providing a patch 👏

Patches

Spree 4.3 users should update to spree_auth_devise 4.4.1
Spree 4.2 users should update to spree_auth_devise 4.2.1
Spree 4.1 users should update to spree_auth_devise 4.1.1
Older Spree version users should update to spree_auth_devise 4.0.1

Workarounds

If possible, change your strategy to :exception:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  protect_from_forgery with: :exception
end

Add the following toconfig/application.rb to at least run the :exception strategy on the affected controller:

config.after_initialize do
  Spree::UsersController.protect_from_forgery with: :exception
end

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify 
    grep -r 'spree_auth_devise' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で spree_auth_devise を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Apply patch patch
