CSRF protection is skipped for a browser-facing controller (or disabled in configuration). Any site can submit state-changing requests on behalf of a logged-in user.

Category: SECURITY · Engine rule severity: WARNING

How to fix it

Keep protect_from_forgery for session-authenticated controllers; for token-authenticated APIs inherit from ActionController::API, and verify signatures on webhooks.
