| Package | Affected versions | Patched versions |
|---|---|---|
| ruby-openid | < 2.9.0 | 2.9.0 |
| ruby-openid | ≤ 2.8.0 |
Ruby OpenID (aka ruby-openid) through 2.8.0 is vulnerable to SSRF. Ruby-openid performs discovery first, and then verification. This allows an attacker to change the URL used for discovery and trick the server into connecting to the URL, which might be a private server not publicly accessible. 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.
