Attacker needs a valid low-privilege session and an enrolled WebAuthn credential (PR:L), exploited remotely over the network with low complexity, yielding full account takeover (C:H/I:H); no availability impact.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Rodauth before 2.46.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the webauthn_login route that allows logged-in users to authenticate as any other account. Attackers can exploit improper account resolution logic that falls back to session account identifiers instead of validating the credential binding to complete authentication as arbitrary users.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in Rodauth (the Ruby authentication framework by Jeremy Evans, jeremyevans:rodauth) before 2.46.0 lets an already-authenticated user complete WebAuthn login as an arbitrary victim account. The webauthn_login route resolves the target account from the session identifier rather than binding the presented WebAuthn credential to its owning account, so a logged-in attacker can pivot into any other account, yielding full account takeover. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the target application to have the Rodauth webauthn_login feature enabled, and the attacker must be a logged-in user with an active session on that application (any valid account suffices) who has registered their own WebAuthn credential; the attack is then performed against the webauthn_login route to authenticate as an arbitrary victim account. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuinely high-priority flaw, not merely a high-CVSS artifact: the impact is authentication bypass leading to arbitrary-account takeover in a security library whose entire purpose is authentication, with High confidentiality and integrity impact in the CVSS 4.0 vector (VC:H/VI:H). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade the rodauth gem to 2.46.0 or later, which corrects the account-resolution logic in the webauthn_login feature (fix commit https://github.com/jeremyevans/rodauth/commit/35d74a9f07b2005a8ea75fc11a6539c04f3c2840; advisory https://github.com/jeremyevans/rodauth/security/advisories/GHSA-3pvr-v35r-4r75). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
