AI-suggested

Upgrade Rails to version 8.1.4.1 or 8.0.5.2 or later, where this issue is fixed. Applications using config.session_store :cache_store should apply these updates promptly. Alternatively, using ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore or MemCacheStore with Dalli 4.0.0 or later avoids this vulnerability. No other specific mitigations are indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

A session management vulnerability exists in the Rails Action Pack framework prior to versions 8.1.4.1 and 8.0.5.2. Specifically, when using the CacheStore session store, a session may be restored after logout or server-side revocation due to improper handling of concurrent requests and session cache entries. This can allow an attacker with a stolen session cookie to maintain access despite the victim logging out. The issue affects applications configured with config.session_store :cache_store and any cache backend except CookieStore and MemCacheStore with Dalli 4.0.0 or later. The vulnerability is fixed in Rails versions 8.1.4.1 and 8.0.5.2.
