vulnerability -> every next fresh session -> same initial captcha
Hello @huacnlee. I noticed a bug that was produced with the following version:
rucaptcha (2.5.3)
railties (>= 3.2)
After I've integrated rucaptcha for login form, every next visit with fresh browser history/cache the first generated captcha keeps being the same.
After researching the forks of your gem, I noticed that this bug is not reproduced with the following version:
GIT
remote: https://github.com/insales/rucaptcha.git
revision: 3fe084ee93b552393c961ec90cf08b10985048c5
specs:
rucaptcha (2.1.3)
railties (>= 3.2)
Please consider pulling changes and let me know if you need assistance. The mentioned fork's master branch is
insales:master branch is 19 commits ahead, 38 commits behind huacnlee:master. I can fork insales:master to rebase it on your huacnlee:master branch to create a pull request in case you are willing to merge but too busy to do this.
Please also let me know if the mentioned vulnerability is a result of gem misuse/misconfiguration.
You may not configure the Cache Store for RuCaptcha
See the document on the README file.
https://github.com/huacnlee/rucaptcha#usage
I don't think this is the case because, cache store was configured eventhough different from the origin. Origin:
self.cache_store = :mem_cache_store
Actual
self.cache_store = :redis_store, "#{ENV.fetch('REDIS_WORKER_URL')}/cache"
Surprisingly I can no longer reproduce the issue neither on prod/stage/local environments. It simply stopped recurring with no dev/devops activity.
