CVE-2016-10522

Status: ModifiedHigh (8.8)—

rails_admin ruby gem <v1.1.1 is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. Non-GET methods were not validating CSRF tokens and, as a result, an attacker could hypothetically gain access to the application administrative endpoints exposed by the gem.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
