CVE-2026-94462: Spree: Broken Access Control in `PATCH /api/v3/store/carts/:id/associate` (IDOR)

September 22, 2026

The Store API v3 endpoint PATCH /api/v3/store/carts/:id/associate binds a guest cart to the authenticated caller without verifying possession of that cart. It locates the cart by prefixed ID only — current_store.carts.where(user: [nil, current_user]).find_by_prefix_id!(params[:id]) — and omits the authorize!(:update, @cart, cart_token) check that every other action in the controller performs via CartResolvable. Because prefixed IDs are a reversible Sqids encoding of the auto-increment primary key (obfuscation, not a token), an authenticated customer can name arbitrary guest cart IDs, take them over, and read the checkout addresses stored on them. This is broken access control / IDOR, reachable by any low-privilege registered user.
