Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Eclipse Vert.x versions 3.0.0 through 3.5.2

Description The issue allows replay attacks with previously issued tokens that have not expired yet, due to the CSRFHandler not asserting that the XSRF Cookie matches the returned XSRF header or form parameter.

Recommendations For Eclipse Vert.x versions 3.0.0 through 3.5.2, consider disabling the CSRFHandler until a patch is available to prevent replay attacks. Restrict access to sensitive operations that rely on the XSRF token to minimize the risk of exploitation.
