Orchest Cross-Site Request Forgery

### Impact In a CSRF attack, an innocent end user is tricked by an attacker into submitting a web request that they did not intend. This may cause actions to be performed on the website that can include inadvertent client or server data leakage, change of session state, or manipulation of an end user's account. ### Patch Upgrade to v2022.09.10 to patch this vulnerability. ### Workarounds Rebuild and redeploy the Orchest `auth-server` with this commit: https://github.com/orchest/orchest/commit/c2587a963cca742c4a2503bce4cfb4161bf64c2d ### References https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_request_forgery https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/352.html ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in https://github.com/orchest/orchest * Email us at rick@orchest.io (2022-09-30, CVE-2022-39268)

The absence of Anti-CSRF tokens may lead to a Cross-Site Request Forgery attack that can result in executing a specific application action as another logged in user, e.g. steal their account by changing their email and password or silently adding a new admin user account when executed from the administrator account.

The attacker may copy one of your web application forms, e.g. email/password change form.

The webpage will contain a form with the exact set of fields as the original application but with input values already provided and the submit button replaced with a Javascript code causing auto-submission. When the page is accessed the form will be immediately submitted and page contents replaced with a valid content or a redirect to your original application.

One of your application users who is already logged in can be then tricked to navigate to such malicious page e.g. by clicking a link in a phishing email, and the pre-populated form content will be submitted to your application like it would be submitted by your user.
