GHSA-x8rx-789c-2pxq

RedwoodSDK has a CSRF vulnerability in server function dispatch via GET requests

Quick fix

GHSA-x8rx-789c-2pxq — rwsdk: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

npm install rwsdk@1.0.6

Details

**Summary**

Server functions exported from `"use server"` files could be invoked via GET requests, bypassing their intended HTTP method. In cookie-authenticated applications, this allowed cross-site GET navigations to trigger state-changing functions, because browsers send `SameSite=Lax` cookies on top-level GET requests.

This affected all server functions -- both `serverAction()` handlers and bare exported functions in `"use server"` files.

**Impact**

An attacker could construct a URL containing a known action ID and JSON-encoded arguments. When a victim with an active session visited or was redirected to this URL, the function executed with the victim's credentials. This affected any server function that performs state-changing operations (writes, deletes, mutations) in applications using cookie-based authentication.

**Remediation**

Update to rwsdk `1.0.6`. No application code changes are required.

The fix enforces the declared HTTP method at dispatch time. GET requests to server functions that require POST now return `405 Method Not Allowed`.
