1233334: CVE-2015-1840 rubygem-jquery-rails: CSRF Vulnerability in jquery-ujs and jquery-rails
A flaw was found in the way rubygem-jquery-rails filtered CSRF tokens from HTTP requests. An attacker able to control the href attribute of an anchor tag or the action attribute of a form tag, could use this flaw to force an application to send a request that includes a CSRF token to an attacker-specified site, thus leaking the CSRF token.
