CVE History

10 HIGH

Ruby OpenID (aka ruby-openid) through 2.8.0 has a remotely exploitable flaw. This library is used by Rails web applications to integrate with OpenID Providers. 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.

4.3 MEDIUM

The ruby-openid gem before 2.2.2 for Ruby allows remote OpenID providers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via (1) a large XRDS document or (2) an XML Entity Expansion (XEE) attack.
