CVE-2014-3590 - User logout susceptible to CSRF attack
Description
I have created page on completely different machine with:
- cat /var/www/html/pub/aaa.html
<html>
<body>
<img src='https://foreman.example.com/users/logout'/>
</body>
</html>
and once I have loaded it, I was logged-off from webUI.

We should consider moving to devise (https://github.com/plataformatec/devise)
Updated by Marek Hulán about 10 years ago
+1 for devise, but since we have a lot of custom logic, it may be hard to rewrite it as warden strategies. Also devise does not seem to be packaged, it does not have many dependencies but still, another RPMs to maintain. IIRC correctly, katello used devise before enginification so maybe there are some older packages somewhere. Anyway implementing this fix probably shouldn't be a big rewrite.

I have been looking into this issue.
This happens only on the browser that you are logged in your foreman webUI.
(e.g., if you are on Chrome and logged in a foreman webUI, you will be logged out if you clicked on a logout link on another tab).
The logout link can be on another server (as Dominic described).
This will not happen on another browser (you won't be able to logout a Chrome foreman webUI from FireFox).
Yet, this seems to me as a normal behavior of the browsers, If I am logged out from Facebook on one tab, it will log me out from Facebook on other tabs as well.
As for devise, clearly an issue we should consider in the future.

It's a CSRF attack though, that's a preventable behaviour with CSRF tokens etc, in the same way that forms are protected.
