CVE-2021-41274 — Authentication Bypass by CSRF Weakness

2026-10-14T18:04:48.220221+00:00

Affected: solidusio solidus_auth_devise

solidus_auth_devise provides authentication services for the Solidus webstore framework, using the Devise gem. In affected versions solidus_auth_devise is subject to a CSRF vulnerability that allows user account takeover. All applications using any version of the frontend component of `solidus_auth_devise` are affected if `protect_from_forgery` method is both: Executed whether as: A `before_action` callback (the default) or 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 should promptly update to `solidus_auth_devise` version `2.5.4`. Users unable to update should if possible, change their strategy to `:exception`. Please see the linked GHSA for more workaround details.

Affected: RubyGems: solidus_auth_devise

### Impact CSRF vulnerability that allows user account takeover.

All applications using any version of the frontend component of `solidus_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.

### Patches Users should promptly update to `solidus_auth_devise` version `2.5.4`.

### Workarounds A couple of options:

- 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 ```

- 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`. See [GHSA-5629-8855-gf4g](https://github.com/solidusio/solidus/security/advis…
