CVE-2022-24743: CWE-613: Insufficient Session Expiration in Sylius Sylius
Sylius is an open source eCommerce platform. Prior to versions 1.10.11 and 1.11.2, the reset password token was not set to null after the password was changed. The same token could be used several times, which could result in leak of the existing token and unauthorized password change. The issue is fixed in versions 1.10.11 and 1.11.2. As a workaround, overwrite the `Sylius\Bundle\ApiBundle\CommandHandler\ResetPasswordHandler` class with code provided by the maintainers and register it in a container. More information about this workaround is available in the GitHub Security Advisory.

Technical Summary
CVE-2022-24743 is a vulnerability identified in the Sylius eCommerce platform, specifically affecting versions prior to 1.10.11 and versions from 1.11.0 up to but not including 1.11.2. The core issue stems from insufficient session expiration related to the password reset token management. When a user resets their password, the reset token should be invalidated immediately after use to prevent reuse. However, in the affected versions of Sylius, the reset password token was not set to null or invalidated after the password change was completed. This flaw allows the same token to be reused multiple times, which can lead to unauthorized password changes if an attacker obtains the token. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-613 (Insufficient Session Expiration), indicating a failure to properly terminate or expire session tokens, which is a critical aspect of session management security. Technically, this means that an attacker who intercepts or otherwise gains access to a valid reset token could repeatedly use it to change the password of a user account without needing to request a new token each time. This could lead to account takeover scenarios, compromising user accounts and potentially exposing sensitive customer data or administrative access within the eCommerce platform. The issue has been addressed in Sylius versions 1.10.11 and 1.11.2 by ensuring the reset token is invalidated immediately after a password reset. As a temporary mitigation, Sylius maintainers have provided a workaround involving overwriting the ResetPasswordHandler class with updated code and registering it in the application container, as detailed in their GitHub Security Advisory. No known exploits have been reported in the wild, but the vulnerability poses a significant risk if exploited, especially in environments where password reset tokens might be intercepted or leaked through other means.
Potential Impact
For European organizations using Sylius as their eCommerce platform, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to user accounts, including administrative accounts if password reset functionality is exploited. This could result in data breaches involving personal customer information, payment details, and order histories, undermining customer trust and potentially violating GDPR regulations. The ability to repeatedly reuse reset tokens increases the window of opportunity for attackers, especially in environments where network traffic interception or insider threats are possible. Compromise of administrative accounts could lead to further system manipulation, including fraudulent transactions, defacement, or disruption of eCommerce services, impacting business continuity and revenue. Given the widespread use of Sylius in small to medium-sized European online retailers, the risk is particularly relevant to sectors relying heavily on online sales platforms. Additionally, the breach of customer data could trigger regulatory fines and reputational damage, which are critical concerns for European businesses under stringent data protection laws.
Mitigation Recommendations
1. Immediate Upgrade: Organizations should prioritize upgrading Sylius installations to versions 1.10.11 or 1.11.2 or later, where the vulnerability is fully patched. 2. Apply Workaround: If immediate upgrading is not feasible, implement the Sylius-provided workaround by overwriting the ResetPasswordHandler class with the secure version and registering it in the service container as per the official GitHub Security Advisory. 3. Monitor Password Reset Logs: Enable detailed logging and monitoring of password reset requests and token usage to detect any abnormal or repeated token usage patterns. 4. Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Where possible, require MFA for user accounts, especially for administrative users, to reduce the risk of account takeover even if password reset tokens are compromised. 5. Secure Token Transmission: Ensure all password reset tokens are transmitted over secure channels (HTTPS) and consider additional protections such as short token expiration times and IP address restrictions. 6. Educate Users: Inform users about phishing risks and encourage them to report suspicious password reset emails or activities. 7. Conduct Security Audits: Regularly audit the Sylius deployment and customizations to verify that no insecure token handling practices are introduced. 8. Incident Response Preparedness: Develop and test incident response plans specifically for account compromise scenarios related to password reset abuse.
