Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-05-01 14:00 – Updated: 2024-01-05 15:27

Summary

Race Condition leading to logging errors

Details

In certain setups with threaded web servers, Audited's use of Thread.current can incorrectly attributed audits to the wrong user.

Fixed in 5.3.3.

In March, @convisoappsec noticed that the library in question had a Race Condition problem, which caused logs to be registered at times with different users than those who performed the genuine actions.

The first issue we identified was from November 2021: https://github.com/collectiveidea/audited/issues/601
So the solution was implemented in the following Pull Request: https://github.com/collectiveidea/audited/pull/669
And the feature was published in version 5.3.3: RELEASE: https://github.com/collectiveidea/audited/pull/671

Severity

3.1 (Low)
