similar to: Lots of InvalidAuthenticityToken errors - what's causing it?

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

Hello, I''ve been testing my project with some manual tests. One of them consists of deleting cookies ("clean personal info" in firefox) just before submit the login form. Then, I get an error. The error message is: ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken in SessionsController#create I''m on Rails 2.0.2 with restful_authentication plugin. I''m using

How often is the authenticity token updated? The latest error that I got was a submittal of a form, an model validation occured, I click back, make the correction, resubmit the form, then I get an InvalidAuthenticityToken error. Somewhat off topic If a person is using the authenticity tokens is there still a need to use some sort of captcha? Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

Hi! I have a Rails site in production and every once in a while a user can''t login because of an invalid authenticity token, most of the time it works fine though. Could this be something to do with character encoding? Maybe it fails because some character is included in the token that isn''t encoded correctly? I started a new thread because all other problems with the tokens

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

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

All, I''m using the ActiveRecord store for sessions and have gotten form submissions to work, but I can''t get the fb:request-form that''s generated by fb_request_form to work, it doesn''t seem to add hidden fields for the token. Should it? Can it even (add extra fields to the fb:request-form)? My view: <% content_for("challenge_content") do %>

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

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

Hi! To send the authenticity token from flex back to the server, I followed this: http://blog.dt.org/index.php/2008/06/rails-2-flex-3-and-form-authenticity-tokens/ I have two controllers in my rails app. The method described in the link above works with the actions in one controller, but does not work with the other. The controller which does not work has just one action which performs a file

Hi- I am trying to use AJAX calls to login and logout of my Rails app so that the form renders in the side bar when you are not logged in, and your "profile" renders if you are. It all works, but when you logout, and try and log back in, you get "ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken", in the development.log. What does this mean, I can''t figure out how to fix

Hi all, I would like to use page caching on my homepage, but also want to enable people to sign in via a modal dialog sign in form. I could have a setup in which when a user lands on the cached homepage, an Ajax GET request pulls in the whole login form so that there is a fresh authenticity token. That said, besides the additional hit to the server, the CSRF token in the head area of the page

Hi all, I''m getting some weird behavior. I''m developing on two machines, one with os x and the other with windows xp. I was testing one of my registration forms and it worked fine when mongrel_rails was run on the windows machine, but when mongrel was run on os x it kept throwing "ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken". I realized I had forgotten the <%=

Hallo, I want to test the csrf protection of my application but forgery protection is not working with jquery ajax request.

In my view I have the following code $(function () { $(''#alert'').click(function () { $.ajax({

I have a form that submits search criteria and while it is processing I wanted to use a js function to indicate: <% form_remote_tag :update => ''mainbody'', :url => {:action => ''search''}, :before => "wait_message(''mainbody'',''S E A R C H I N G'')" do%> wait_message() executes but then when

Hi I''ve just uploaded my new website to my server and, after a couple of teething problems, seem to be hitting problems when I am using devise and warden to authenticate users etc. The following is the error message with sensitive information removed: Processing RegistrationsController#create (for 81.111.90.194 at 2010-08-19 21:35:43) [POST] Parameters:
