How to Fix CVE-2024-22047

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Audited dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

audited fixed: 5.3.3 
Upgrade audited to 5.3.3
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for audited

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-22047, inspect your project dependencies for Audited:

inspect dependencies for audited

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Audited in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 5.3.3), 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 General Security Weakness. In Audited, 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.

Source Advisory Statement

In certain setups with threaded web servers, Audited's use of `Thread.current` can incorrectly attributed audits to the wrong user. Fixed in 5.3.3. In March, @convisoappsec noticed that the library in question had a Race Condition problem, which caused logs to be registered at times with different users than those who performed the genuine actions. - The first issue we identified was from November 2021: https://github.com/collectiveidea/audited/issues/601 - So the solution was implemented in the following Pull Request: https://github.com/collectiveidea/audited/pull/669 - And the feature was published in version 5.3.3: RELEASE: https://github.com/collectiveidea/audited/pull/671
