Overview
crumb is CSRF crumb generation and validation plugin.
Affected versions of the package are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass. crumb does not validate the hostname while comparing a request origin against the whitelist, but rather compare http protocol alone. This opens a window for attackers to gain information by Man in the Middle (MitM) attacks.
