{"id":"GHSA-57hq-95w6-v4fc","summary":"Devise has a confirmable \"change email\" race condition permits user to confirm email they have no access to","details":"### Impact\n\nA race condition in Devise's Confirmable module allows an attacker to confirm an email address they do not own. This affects any Devise application using the `reconfirmable` option (the default when using Confirmable with email changes).\n\nBy sending two concurrent email change requests, an attacker can desynchronize the `confirmation_token` and `unconfirmed_email` fields. The confirmation token is sent to an email the attacker controls, but the `unconfirmed_email` in the database points to a victim's email address. When the attacker uses the token, the victim's email is confirmed on the attacker's account.\n\n### Patches\n\nThis is patched in Devise **v5.0.3**. Users should upgrade as soon as possible.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nApplications can override this specific method from Devise models to force `unconfirmed_email` to be persisted when unchanged: (assuming your model is `User`)\n\n```ruby\nclass User \u003c ApplicationRecord\n  protected\n\n  def postpone_email_change_until_confirmation_and_regenerate_confirmation_token\n    unconfirmed_email_will_change!\n    super\n  end\nend\n```\n\nNote: Mongoid does not seem to respect that `will_change!` should force the attribute to be persisted, even if it did not really change, so you might have to implement a workaround similar to Devise by setting `changed_attributes[\"unconfirmed_email\"] = nil` as well.","aliases":["CVE-2026-32700"],"modified":"2026-03-30T14:05:52.117034Z","published":"2026-03-17T17:24:17Z","database_specific":{"severity":"MODERATE","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-17T17:24:17Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-03-18T21:16:26Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-362"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/heartcombo/devise/security/advisories/GHSA-57hq-95w6-v4fc"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-32700"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/heartcombo/devise/issues/5783"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/heartcombo/devise/pull/5784"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/heartcombo/devise"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/rubysec/ruby-advisory-db/blob/master/gems/devise/CVE-2026-32700.yml"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/rubysec/ruby-advisory-db/blob/master/gems/devise/GHSA-57hq-95w6-v4fc.yml"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"devise","ecosystem":"RubyGems","purl":"pkg:gem/devise"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"5.0.3"}]}],"versions":["0.1.0","0.1.1","0.2.0","0.2.1","0.2.2","0.2.3","0.3.0","0.4.0","0.4.1","0.4.2","0.4.3","0.5.0","0.5.1","0.5.2","0.5.3","0.5.4","0.5.5","0.5.6","0.6.0","0.6.1","0.6.2","0.6.3","0.7.0","0.7.1","0.7.2","0.7.3","0.7.4","0.7.5","0.8.0","0.8.1","0.8.2","0.9.0","0.9.1","0.9.2","1.0.0","1.0.1","1.0.10","1.0.11","1.0.2","1.0.3","1.0.4","1.0.5","1.0.6","1.0.7","1.0.8","1.0.9","1.1.0","1.1.1","1.1.2","1.1.3","1.1.4","1.1.5","1.1.6","1.1.7","1.1.8","1.1.9","1.1.pre","1.1.pre2","1.1.pre3","1.1.pre4","1.1.rc0","1.1.rc1","1.1.rc2","1.2.0","1.2.1","1.2.rc","1.2.rc2","1.3.0","1.3.1","1.3.2","1.3.3","1.3.4","1.4.1","1.4.2","1.4.3","1.4.5","1.4.7","1.4.8","1.4.9","1.5.0","1.5.0.rc1","1.5.1","1.5.2","1.5.3","1.5.4","2.0.0","2.0.0.rc","2.0.0.rc2","2.0.1","2.0.2","2.0.4","2.0.5","2.0.6","2.1.0","2.1.0.rc","2.1.0.rc2","2.1.2","2.1.3","2.1.4","2.2.0","2.2.0.rc","2.2.1","2.2.2","2.2.3","2.2.4","2.2.5","2.2.6","2.2.7","2.2.8","3.0.0","3.0.0.rc","3.0.1","3.0.2","3.0.3","3.0.4","3.1.0","3.1.0.rc2","3.1.1","3.1.2","3.2.0","3.2.1","3.2.2","3.2.3","3.2.4","3.3.0","3.4.0","3.4.1","3.5.1","3.5.10","3.5.2","3.5.3","3.5.4","3.5.5","3.5.6","3.5.7","3.5.8","3.5.9","4.0.0","4.0.0.rc1","4.0.0.rc2","4.0.1","4.0.2","4.0.3","4.1.0","4.1.1","4.2.0","4.2.1","4.3.0","4.4.0","4.4.1","4.4.2","4.4.3","4.5.0","4.6.0","4.6.1","4.6.2","4.7.0","4.7.1","4.7.2","4.7.3","4.8.0","4.8.1","4.9.0","4.9.1","4.9.2","4.9.3","4.9.4","5.0.0","5.0.0.rc","5.0.1","5.0.2"],"database_specific":{"last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 5.0.2","source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-57hq-95w6-v4fc/GHSA-57hq-95w6-v4fc.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
