# Workaround for CSRF protection bug. # # https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/21948 # The bug: # The rails session cookie is not persistent, # therefore it expires when the page is loaded from cache # (i.e. when browser restores tabs on restart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKDu0qMT4HM) # which leads to an `InvalidAuthenticityToken` when the user submits a form from that page. # # Workaround: # We decided to move the CSRF token from the session cookie into a separate persistent cookie. module ActionController module RequestForgeryProtection COOKIE_NAME = :_csrf_token def real_csrf_token(session) csrf_token = cookies.encrypted[COOKIE_NAME] || session[:_csrf_token] csrf_token ||= SecureRandom.base64(AUTHENTICITY_TOKEN_LENGTH) cookies.encrypted[COOKIE_NAME] ||= { value: csrf_token, expires: 1.year.from_now, httponly: true } session[:_csrf_token] = csrf_token Base64.strict_decode64(csrf_token) end end end # http://blog.plataformatec.com.br/2013/08/csrf-token-fixation-attacks-in-devise/ # (devise-4.2.0/lib/devise/hooks/csrf_cleaner.rb): Warden::Manager.after_authentication do |_record, warden, _options| clean_up_for_winning_strategy = !warden.winning_strategy.respond_to?(:clean_up_csrf?) || warden.winning_strategy.clean_up_csrf? delete_cookie = Devise.clean_up_csrf_token_on_authentication && clean_up_for_winning_strategy warden.cookies.delete(ActionController::RequestForgeryProtection::COOKIE_NAME) if delete_cookie end
