CVE-2021-41274Network attack vector

Account takeover via premature user loading

Published Nov 17, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in Solidus Auth Devise 1.0.0 through 2.5.3 allows remote attackers to take over user accounts via crafted requests. Spree::UsersController loads the target user before CSRF handling, so null-session or reset-session processing occurs after the update target has been selected. Exploitation requires user interaction and the affected callback order with either strategy; Rails applications retaining the generated exception strategy are not affected.
