@fastify/oauth2 vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery due to reused Oauth2 state

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jul 3, 2023 in fastify/fastify-oauth2 • Updated Nov 10, 2023

Package

npm @fastify/oauth2 (npm)

Affected versions

< 7.2.0

Patched versions

7.2.0

Description

Impact

All versions of @fastify/oauth2 used a statically generated state parameter at startup time and were used across all requests for all users.
The purpose of the Oauth2 state parameter is to prevent Cross-Site-Request-Forgery attacks. As such, it should be unique per user and should be connected to the user's session in some way that will allow the server to validate it.

Patches

v7.2.0 changes the default behavior to store the state in a cookie with the http-only and same-site=lax attributes set. The state is now by default generated for every user.

Note that this contains a breaking change in the checkStateFunction function, which now accepts the full Request object.

Workarounds

There are no known workarounds.

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.

Weaknesses

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

The web application does not, or can not, sufficiently verify whether a well-formed, valid, consistent request was intentionally provided by the user who submitted the request. Learn more on MITRE.
