{"id":"GHSA-xm34-v85h-9pg2","summary":"Authentication Bypass by CSRF Weakness","details":"### Impact\nCSRF vulnerability that allows user account takeover.\n\nAll applications using any version of the frontend component of  `solidus_auth_devise` are affected if `protect_from_forgery` method is both: \n- Executed whether as:\n  - A `before_action` callback (the default)\n  - A `prepend_before_action` (option `prepend: true` given) before the `:load_object` hook in `Spree::UserController` (most likely order to find).\n- 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`).\n\nThat means that applications that haven't been configured differently from what it's generated with Rails aren't affected.\n\n### Patches\nUsers should promptly update to `solidus_auth_devise` version `2.5.4`.\n\n### Workarounds\nA couple of options:\n\n- If possible, change your strategy to `:exception`:\n  ```ruby\n  class ApplicationController \u003c ActionController::Base\n    protect_from_forgery with: :exception\n  end\n  ```\n\n- Add the following to `config/application.rb` to at least run the `:exception` strategy on the affected controller:\n  ```ruby\n  config.after_initialize do\n    Spree::UsersController.protect_from_forgery with: :exception\n  end\n  ```\n\n- 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`.
