Race Condition leading to logging errors

Low severity GitHub Reviewed Published Apr 28, 2023 in collectiveidea/audited • Updated Jan 8, 2024

Package

bundler audited (RubyGems)

Affected versions

>= 4.0.0, < 5.3.3

Patched versions

5.3.3

Description

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.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
