HIGH Summary
Ruby OpenID (aka ruby-openid) through 2.8.0 has a remotely exploitable flaw. This library is used by Rails web applications to integrate with OpenID Providers. Severity can range from medium to critical, depending on how a web application developer chose to employ the ruby-openid library. Developers who based their OpenID integration heavily on the "example app" provided by the project are at highest risk.

This allowed an attacker to change the URL used for discovery and trick the server into connecting to the URL. This server in turn could be a private server not publicly accessible.
