CVE-2023-48220

Summary

CVE-2023-48220: Decidim's participatory democracy framework, prior to version 2.0.9 of the `devise_invitable` gem, contains a vulnerability in the invites feature. The bug allows users to accept an invitation indefinitely through the password reset functionality, bypassing the intended expiry period. This issue affects versions 0.0.1.alpha3 and prior to versions 0.26.9, 0.27.5, and 0.28.0 of the `decidim,` `decidim-admin,` and `decidim-system` gems. The code fails to validate the status of the pending invitation, making the dependencies vulnerable. Users can mitigate the risk by cancelling invitations directly from the database, until the `devise_invitable` gem is updated to version 2.0.9 to fix the issue.
