GSD-2020-8166

Vulnerability from gsd - Updated: 2020-05-18 00:00
Details
It is possible to possible to, given a global CSRF token such as the one present in the authenticity_token meta tag, forge a per-form CSRF token for any action for that session. Versions Affected: rails < 5.2.5, rails < 6.0.4 Not affected: Applications without existing HTML injection vulnerabilities. Fixed Versions: rails >= 5.2.4.3, rails >= 6.0.3.1 Impact ------ Given the ability to extract the global CSRF token, an attacker would be able to construct a per-form CSRF token for that session. Workarounds ----------- This is a low-severity security issue. As such, no workaround is necessarily until such time as the application can be upgraded.
