rubygem-activerecord-session_store: hijack sessions by using timing attacks targeting the session id

Published Mar 5, 2021 CVSS 3.1 · 5.3 Medium EPSS 1.8% KEV · Not listed
Description
The activerecord-session_store (aka Active Record Session Store) component through 1.1.3 for Ruby on Rails does not use a constant-time approach when delivering information about whether a guessed session ID is valid. Consequently, remote attackers can leverage timing discrepancies to achieve a correct guess in a relatively short amount of time. This is a related issue to CVE-2019-16782.
