Description
Action Pack is a framework for handling and responding to web requests. Prior to 8.1.4.1 and 8.0.5.2, Action Pack session stores other than ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore (CacheStore, MemCacheStore, and third-party stores built on AbstractStore, AbstractSecureStore or the session mixins) write the session cookie without a SameSite attribute, regardless of config.action_dispatch.cookies_same_site_protection, which defaults to :lax. Only CookieStore applies the configured policy. In browsers that do not treat a cookie without the attribute as SameSite=Lax, a cross-site request could carry the session cookie, possibly leading to cross-site request forgery against actions that do not verify an authenticity token, such as those of API-only applications. Applications are affected when they use a session store other than CookieStore and do not pass same_site: to config.session_store. This issue is fixed in versions 8.1.4.1 and 8.0.5.2.
