No affected components available
Impact
Users that used fastify-csrf with the "double submit" mechanism using cookies with an application deployed across multiple subdomains, e.g. "heroku"-style platform as a service.
Patches
Version 3.1.0 of the fastify-csrf fixes it. See https://github.com/fastify/fastify-csrf/pull/51 and https://github.com/fastify/csrf/pull/2.
The user of the module would need to supply a userInfo when generating the CSRF token to fully implement the protection on their end. This is needed only for applications hosted on different subdomains.
Workarounds
None available.
