How to Fix GHSA-5629-8855-gf4g
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Solidus core dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
Upgrade solidus_core to 2.11.12Upgrade solidus_core to 3.0.3Upgrade solidus_core to 3.1.3Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
inspect dependencies for solidus_coreHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-5629-8855-gf4g, inspect your project dependencies for Solidus core:
inspect dependencies for solidus_coreAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Solidus core in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.11.12), your application is affected.
Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-305: Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness, where the authentication algorithm is sound, but the implemented mechanism can be bypassed as the result of a separate weakness that is primary to the authentication error. In Solidus core, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.
