Upgrade omniauth to version 2.0.0 or higher.
Overview
omniauth is a generalized Rack framework for multiple-provider authentication.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF). An attacker may be allowed to be connected to the user without the user's intent, interaction, or feedback. This permits a secondary account to be able to sign into the web application as the primary account.
Note:
- The package is only vulnerable when used as part of the Ruby on Rails framework.
- It is possible to use the
omniauth-rails_csrf_protectiongem to mitigate this attack
