Overview

omniauth-rails is a Rails Engine to make it as easy as possible to add oauth authentication to a Rails app.

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_protection gem to mitigate this attack
