NewCVE-2025-46336 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade rack-session to version 2.1.1 or higher.
Overview
rack-session is a session implementation for Rack.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Race Condition in Rack::Session::Pool middleware, which allows an attacker to restore and use a deleted session. The attacker must be in possession of a valid session cookie and the attack must be timed to coincide with a disconnection from the long-running session by another user.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be avoided by invalidating sessions using the logged_out flag rather than deleting them, or by enforcing session invalidation by maintaining a custom session store and invalidating based on timestamp as soon as a session is closed.
