Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions rails admin ruby gem versions prior to 1.1.1

Description The issue allows for cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. Non-GET methods were not validating CSRF tokens, which could allow an attacker to gain access to the application's administrative endpoints exposed by the gem.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.1.1, update to version 1.1.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the administrative endpoints exposed by the rails admin ruby gem until the update can be applied.
