CSRF Protection Bypass in Ruby on Rails - I don't get it ...
Hi all, My team and I are finding ourselves a little in the dark about the "CSRF Protection Bypass in Ruby on Rails" vulnerability that was announced yesterday - http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2011/2/8/csrf-protection-bypass-in-ruby-on-rails 1. Where is the complete Advisory? The Impact section is very unclear. Looking at the comment in the 2.3 patch mentions "Flash animations and

CSRF / cached authenticity tokens / ajax requests
I''m going to go out on a limb here and say the new CSRF protection in Rails is flawed. Why? Forget about caching if you care to use it. Consider the following: <% cache do %> <%= link_to_remote "Add To Favorites", :url => {:controller => "favorites", :action => "create", "movie_id" => 2} %> <% end %> # Output <a

rspec-rails how to selectively turn on csrf protection for controller specs?
I''m setting up a Paypal IPN listener and need the create action to not use rails'' default CSRF protection. I''ve got that working fine & test it actually works with cucumber (where I''ve turned CSRF back on, since it''s full-stack testing) but would like my controller spec to mention the need for protect_from_forgery :except => [:create] (and fail

CSRF resets my session in Firefox
Hello all, I''ve been trying to diagnose an issue with CSRF and Firefox specifically. I''ve got an ajax based form, using UJS (yes, I have csrf_meta_tag in my layout and I''ve tried adding the X-CSRF-Token header to the ajax beforeSend events without any luck)... The form just posts some data to an ajax method that creates, saves, and sets the session for a shopper as

Security problems with CookieStore and CSRF protection
Dear Rails community, As part of a programming languages/security research group at the University of Maryland, we are building some static analysis tools for Rails applications. These tools work by taking formally specified properties of interest, and then analyzing code to verify that those properties indeed hold. Using these tools, we found some security vulnerabilities in Rails, and we would

Rails 4: Should a HEAD request not be handled like a GET for CSRF protection?
I am running a Rails 4 app in semi-production and I constantly get exceptions from crawler bots that use a HEAD HTTP method, which causes the CSRF protection to kick in. Shouldn''t HEAD requests normally be handled like GET requests? I am not sure if I''m just being stupid or that hit is a bug somewhere.

Auto complete plugin and CSRF protection-- do you care?
Hi, I just noticed that the auto_complete plugin does not work with the CSRF protection in Rails 2.0. I''ve patched the plugin, but I''m wondering if people would like to see the official plugin fixed. If so, speak up and I will write some tests and submit the patch.

PROPOSAL: Remove SWAT in Samba 4.1
As most of you would have noticed, we have now had 3 CVE-nominated security issues for SWAT in the past couple of years. At the same time, while I know many of our users use SWAT, we just don't have anybody to maintain it inside the Samba Team. Kai has made a valiant effort to at least apply the XSS and CSRF guidelines when folks make security reports, but by his own admission he isn't a

CSRF protection in rails 2.3.11
Hi all, I think CSFR protection broke in rails 2.3.11. As in: it''s turned off now. I tried this in rails 2.3.10 and in 2.3.11 and 2.3.11 seems broken. >rails csrftest >cd csrftest >script/generate scaffold post title:string >rake db:migrate now I visit /posts/new in my browser, use firebug to delete or change the authenticity token, and submit the form. rails 2.3.11: all

POST-only logic in protect_from_forgery considered harmful?
Hi folks, I am just getting into rails again after a multi-year stint of mod_perl jobs, which might grant me some newbie-indemnity for the time being - but I''ve found an issue I think warrants discussion. As discussed here - http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/RequestForgeryProtection/ClassMethods.html - the CSRF protection feature does not kick in for GET requests. This

Putting form_authenticity_token (csrf token) in a cookie instead of in meta tags?
When you generate a default Rails app, it puts this in application.html.erb: <%= csrf_meta_tags %> It does this so the remote forms can be submitted--i.e., so JavaScript can submit a form. When jquery-rails is about to submit a form, it looks for the <meta> tags named "csrf-param" and "csrf-token" and from them it constructs a hidden

Cross-site Request Forgery
Hi all, I stuck a little bit of information on CSRF on the wiki (http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/HowToAvoidCrossSiteRequestForgery) and created a "Security Concerns" page from the home page (http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/Security+Concerns) - it would be good to have a single point of information for all know security holes and fixes (even if they aren''t Rails

forgery protection for multiple browser tabs
Hi, http://apidock.com/rails/ActionController/RequestForgeryProtection only maintains one CSRF token at a time. When a user visits some site, he gets a new token in the session. He then might open a linked site of the same rails app in a new browser tab (maybe some info he''d like to read), and again he will get a new token. Then he changes to the first tab again and submits a form

Ajax CSRF in Rails3
I''m using rails3. It does not seem to check the authenticity_token when doing a POST using Ajax. I traced this to: module ActionDispatch class Request < Rack::Request ..... def forgery_whitelisted? get? || xhr? || content_mime_type.nil? || ! content_mime_type.verify_request? end end so you don''t check if its a get? or a xhr? (ie ajax request). Is this correct? --

Error: "ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken"
Hi there, I have my first Rails app running and I regularly get the following "logged_exception" error message: "ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken" Has anybody an idea what might cause this problem? Could it somehow be a "time out" error (like an "AuthenticityToken" which might expire after a certain time, or something along those lines)? Any
