GHSA-gq67-pp9w-43gp is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in org.apache.myfaces.core:myfaces-core-module. 1 public exploit reference exists, so weaponization risk is real. A fix is available for org.apache.myfaces.core:myfaces-core-module — see the affected versions and patch details below.

Description

In the default configuration, Apache MyFaces Core versions 2.2.0 to 2.2.13, 2.3.0 to 2.3.7, 2.3-next-M1 to 2.3-next-M4, and 3.0.0-RC1 use cryptographically weak implicit and explicit cross-site request forgery (CSRF) tokens. Due to that limitation, it is possible (although difficult) for an attacker to calculate a future CSRF token value and to use that value to trick a user into executing unwanted actions on an application.

Mitigation: Existing web.xml configuration parameters can be used to direct MyFaces to use SecureRandom for CSRF token generation:

org.apache.myfaces.RANDOM_KEY_IN_VIEW_STATE_SESSION_TOKEN=secureRandom org.apache.myfaces.RANDOM_KEY_IN_CSRF_SESSION_TOKEN=secureRandom org.apache.myfaces.RANDOM_KEY_IN_WEBSOCKET_SESSION_TOKEN=secureRandom

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.apache.myfaces.core:myfaces-core-module, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update org.apache.myfaces.core:myfaces-core-module to 2.0.25 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-gq67-pp9w-43gp is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
