CVE-2015-9284: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

April 26, 2019 (updated November 13, 2020)

The request phase of the OmniAuth is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery when used as part of the Ruby on Rails framework, allowing accounts to be connected without user intent, user interaction, or feedback to the user. This permits a secondary account to be able to sign into the web application as the primary account.
