Summary

Devise Gem for Ruby Unauthorized Access Using "Remember Me" Cookie

Details

Devise version before 3.5.4 uses cookies to implement a "Remember me" functionality. However, it generates the same cookie for all devices. If an attacker manages to steal a remember me cookie and the user does not change the password frequently, the cookie can be used to gain access to the application indefinitely.

Severity

7.5 (High)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
Browse all ATT&CK techniques and the vulnerabilities related to each.
