Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### 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
Spree 4.1 users should update to spree_auth_devise 4.1.1
Older Spree version users should update to spree_auth_devise 4.0.1
### Workarounds
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
```
