CSRF token fixation in fastify-passport
Quick fix
GHSA-2ccf-ffrj-m4qw — @fastify/passport: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install @fastify/passport@1.1.0Details
The [CSRF](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/csrf) protection enforced by the `@fastify/csrf-protection` library, when combined with `@fastify/passport`, can be bypassed by network and same-site attackers.
## Details `fastify/csrf-protection` implements the [synchronizer token pattern](https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Cross-Site_Request_Forgery_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet.html#synchronizer-token-pattern) (using plugins `@fastify/session` and `@fastify/secure-session`) by storing a random value used for CSRF token generation in the `_csrf` attribute of a user's session.
The `@fastify/passport` library does not clear the session object upon authentication, preserving the `_csrf` attribute between pre-login and authenticated sessions. Consequently, CSRF tokens generated before authentication are still valid. Network and [same-site attackers](https://canitakeyoursubdomain.name/) can thus obtain a CSRF token for their pre-session, fixate that pre-session in the victim's browser via cookie tossing, and then perform a CSRF attack after the victim authenticates.
## Fix As a solution, newer versions of `@fastify/passport` include the configuration options
* `clearSessionOnLogin (default: true)` and * `clearSessionIgnoreFields (default: ['session'])`
to clear all the session attributes by default, preserving those explicitly defined in `clearSessionIgnoreFields`.
