Summary

In strategy.rb in OmniAuth before 1.3.2, the authenticity_token value is improperly protected because POST (in addition to GET) parameters are stored in the session and become available in the environment of the callback phase.

descriptionLalith Rallabhandi discovered that OmniAuth, a Ruby library for implementing multi-provider authentication in web applications, mishandled and leaked sensitive information. An attacker with access to the callback environment, such as in the case of a crafted web application, can request authentication services from this module and access to the CSRF token.
