SCA: security update for devise (GHSA-57hq-95w6-v4fc)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438890

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Devise is an authentication solution for Rails based on Warden. Prior to version 5.0.3, a race condition
 in Devise's Confirmable module allows an attacker to confirm an email address they do not own. This
 affects any Devise application using the `reconfirmable` option (the default when using Confirmable with
 email changes). By sending two concurrent email change requests, an attacker can desynchronize the
 `confirmation_token` and `unconfirmed_email` fields. The confirmation token is sent to an email the
 attacker controls, but the `unconfirmed_email` in the database points to a victim's email address. When
 the attacker uses the token, the victim's email is confirmed on the attacker's account. This is patched in
 Devise v5.0.3. Users should upgrade as soon as possible. As a workaround, applications can override a
 specific method from Devise models to force `unconfirmed_email` to be persisted when unchanged. Note that
 Mongoid does not seem to respect that `will_change!` should force the attribute to be persisted, even if
 it did not really change, so the user might have to implement a workaround similar to Devise by setting
 `changed_attributes["unconfirmed_email"] = nil` as well. (CVE-2026-32700)

Solution

Update the devise library and its related packages to version 5.0.3 or later.
