DESCRIPTION

In certain setups with threaded web servers, Audited’s use of Thread.current can incorrectly attributed audits to the wrong user.

Fixed in 5.3.3.

In March, @convisoappsec noticed that the library in question had a Race Condition problem, which caused logs to be registered at times with different users than those who performed the genuine actions.

• The first issue we identified was from November 2021
  • https://github.com/collectiveidea/audited/issues/601
• So the solution was implemented in the following Pull Request
  • https://github.com/collectiveidea/audited/pull/669
• And the feature was published in version 5.3.3
  • RELEASE: https://github.com/collectiveidea/audited/pull/671
