GHSA-6mqr-q86q-6gwr: Duplicate Advisory: Authentication Bypass by CSRF Weakness

November 18, 2021 (updated July 1, 2025)

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 👏
