Turbo Frame responses can restore stale session cookies
CVE-2025-66803GHSA-qppm-g56g-fpvp
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (@hotwired/turbo 8.0.21), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
Summary A race condition in Turbo Frames allows delayed HTTP responses to restore stale session cookies after session-modifying operations. Details Browsers automatically process Set-Cookie headers from HTTP responses. When a Turbo Frame request is in-flight during a session-modifying action (such as logout), the delayed response may include a Set-Cookie header reflecting the session state at request time. This can result in stale session cookies being restored after the session was intentionally modified or invalidated. This condition can occur naturally on slow networks. An active network attacker capable of delaying responses could potentially exploit this to restore previous session state.
Impact Applications using Turbo Frames with cookie-based session storage may experience: - Session state reversion after logout - Unintended restoration of previous authentication state The impact is limited to applications using client-side cookie storage for sessions. Applications using…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2025-66803 Advisory: Turbo Frame responses can restore stale session cookies IDs: CVE-2025-66803, GHSA-qppm-g56g-fpvp Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2025-66803 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:41 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Low (CVSS 1.7) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: @hotwired/turbo 8.0.21. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - npm @hotwired/turbo: affected <= 8.0.20; fixed in 8.0.21 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - `npm ls @hotwired/turbo --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`. ## Supported action Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on @hotwired/turbo. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-qppm-g56g-fpvp (OSV record GHSA-qppm-g56g-fpvp lists affected ranges: npm @hotwired/turbo >=0 <8.0.21 (fixed)) - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-qppm-g56g-fpvp (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-qppm-g56g-fpvp lists affected ranges: npm @hotwired/turbo >=0 <=8.0.20) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
