{"id":"CVE-2021-41275","details":"spree_auth_devise is an open source library which provides authentication and authorization services for use with the Spree storefront framework by using an underlying Devise authentication framework. In affected versions spree_auth_devise is subject to a 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). Users are advised to update their spree_auth_devise gem. For users unable to update it may be possible to change your strategy to :exception. Please see the linked GHSA for more workaround details. ### Impact 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 �� ### Patches Spree 4.3 users should update to spree_auth_devise 4.4.1 Spree 4.2 users should update to spree_auth_devise 4.2.1 ### Workarounds If possible, change your strategy to :exception: ```ruby class ApplicationController \u003c 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 ``` ### References https://github.com/solidusio/solidus_auth_devise/security/advisories/GHSA-xm34-v85h-9pg2","aliases":["GHSA-26xx-m4q2-xhq8"],"modified":"2026-02-12T07:36:04.823140Z","published":"2021-11-17T20:15:10.527Z","related":["GHSA-26xx-m4q2-xhq8"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/spree/spree_auth_devise/commit/adf6ed4cd94d66091776b5febd4ff3767362de63"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/spree/spree_auth_devise/security/advisories/GHSA-26xx-m4q2-xhq8"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/spree/spree_auth_devise/commit/adf6ed4cd94d66091776b5febd4ff3767362de63"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/spree/spree_auth_devise","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"adf6ed4cd94d66091776b5febd4ff3767362de63"},{"introduced":"0b77e2c59b33c974450b92d169841fc9c85272f7"},{"fixed":"adf6ed4cd94d66091776b5febd4ff3767362de63"}]}],"versions":["v4.3.0","v4.3.3","v4.3.4","v4.4.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2021-41275.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
