Technical details

The SessionsController in Upright skips CSRF protection on the create action (line: skip_forgery_protection only: :create) while processing OmniAuth authentication. An attacker can craft a cross-site request that induces a victim to visit a malicious page, causing the victim's browser to submit a login request to the Upright instance under the attacker's controlled OmniAuth session. This allows account takeover if the victim is already authenticated with the OmniAuth provider.
