Vulnerable vs. safe
Flagged by this check
config.action_controller.default_protect_from_forgery = falsePasses - the safe pattern
config.action_controller.default_protect_from_forgery = trueWhy it matters & how to fix it
default_protect_from_forgery is disabled application-wide, removing CSRF protection from controllers by default (CWE-352). Leave it true so protect_from_forgery is installed everywhere, and disable it only per action where a token/JWT scheme replaces it.
