How to Fix CVE-2021-41274

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

solidus_auth_devise fixed: 2.5.4
Upgrade solidus_auth_devise to 2.5.4
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 solidus_auth_devise

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2021-41274, inspect your project dependencies for Solidus auth devise:

inspect dependencies for solidus_auth_devise

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Solidus auth devise in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.5.4), 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-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), where the web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor. In Solidus auth devise, 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

### Impact CSRF vulnerability that allows user account takeover. All applications using any version of the frontend component of `solidus_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. ### Patches Users should promptly update to `solidus_auth_devise` version `2.5.4`. ### Workarounds A couple of options: - If possible, change your strategy to `:exception`: ```ruby class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base protect_from_forgery with: :exception end ``` - Add the following to `config/application.rb` to at least run the `:exception` strategy on the affected controller: ```ruby config.after_initialize do Spree::UsersController.protect_from_forgery with: :exception end ``` - We've also released new Solidus versions monkey patching `solidus_auth_devise` with the quick fix. Those versions are `v3.1.3`, `v.3.0.3` & `v2.11.12`. See [GHSA-5629-8855-gf4g](https://github.com/solidusio/solidus/security/advisories/GHSA-5629-8855-gf4g) for details. ### References - [CSRF on the Rails guides](https://guides.rubyonrails.org/security.html#cross-site-request-forgery-csrf) - [Solidus security](https://solidus.io/security/) ### Thanks We'd like to thank [vampire000](https://hackerone.com/vampire000) for reporting this issue. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [solidus_auth_devise](https://github.com/solidusio/solidus_auth_devise/issues) or a discussion in [solidus](https://github.com/solidusio/solidus/discussions) * Email us at [security@solidus.io](mailto:security@soliidus.io) * Contact the core team on [Slack](http://slack.solidus.io/)
