Overview

spree_auth_devise provides authentication and authorization services for use with spree by using Devise and CanCan.

Affected versions of this gem are vulnerable to unauthorized privileges being gained. The issue is triggered as certain input related to mass role assignment in app/models/spree/user.rb is not properly verified before being used to update a user. This may allow a remote attacker to assign arbitrary roles and gain elevated administrative privileges.

This vulnerability is related to spree_auth.
