1) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-9284)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The request phase of the OmniAuth Ruby gem (1.9.1 and earlier) 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.
