Description

The CSRF protection enforced by the `@fastify/csrf-protection` library, when combined with `@fastify/passport`, can be bypassed by network and same-site attackers. Details `fastify/csrf-protection` implements the synchronizer token pattern (using plugins `@fastify/session` and `@fastify/secure-session`) by storing a random value used for CSRF token generation in the `_csrf` attribute of a user's session. The `@fastify/passport` library does not clear the session object upon authentication, preserving the `_csrf` attribute between pre-login and authenticated sessions. Consequently, CSRF tokens generated before authentication are still valid. Network and same-site attackers can thus obtain a CSRF token for their pre-session, fixate that pre-session in the victim's browser via cookie tossing, and then perform a CSRF attack after the victim authenticates. Fix As a solution, newer versions of `@fastify/passport` include the configuration options • `clearSessionOnLogin (default: true)` and • `clearSessionIgnoreFields (default: ['session'])` to clear all the session attributes by default, preserving those explicitly defined in `clearSessionIgnoreFields`.
