Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Comparison of Object References Instead of Object Contents in the process of comparing UserVerificationRequirement during WebAuthn authentication ceremonies when using distributed HTTP session stores. An attacker can bypass user verification by exploiting the fact that deserialized session objects do not match the expected static constant, causing the verification requirement to be silently disabled. This is only exploitable if the application uses WebAuthn authentication, explicitly sets userVerification to REQUIRED, and utilizes a distributed HTTP session store such as Redis, JDBC, or Hazelcast.
