Vulnerability from github
Impact
This vulnerability may allow SameSite Attackers to bypass the CodeIgniter4 CSRF protection mechanism with CodeIgniter Shield.
For this attack to succeed, the attacker must have direct (or indirect, e.g., XSS) control over a subdomain site (e.g., https://a.example.com/
) of the target site (e.g., http://example.com/
).
This vulnerability exists whether Config\Security::$csrfProtection
is 'cookie'
or 'session'
.
It is also exploitable whether Config\Security::$regenerate
is true
or false
.
Patches
Upgrade to CodeIgniter v4.2.3 or later and Shield v1.0.0-beta.2 or later.
Workarounds
Do all of the following:
- set Config\Security::$csrfProtection
to 'session'
- remove old session data right after login (immediately after ID and password match)
- regenerate CSRF token right after login (immediately after ID and password match)
