HI Chris,

did somebody reach out to you already?
Please either reach out to the maintainer of the gem yourself or tell me who 
you think should be contacted.

Kind regards
Axel

Subject: [security] Security issue with ruby-openid library

openid-security mailing list:

I have discovered a remotely exploitable weakness in the ruby-openid library 
that Rails web applications use to integrate with OpenID Providers.  Severity 
can range from medium to critical, depending on how a web application developer 
chose to implement the ruby-openid library.  Developers who based their OpenID 
integration heavily on the "example app" provided by the project are at highest 
risk.

I hesitate to provide too much detail publicly, as I would prefer to 
responsibly report the details of this issue privately, to ensure that the 
OpenID community has time to confirm my findings, implement appropriate code 
changes, and communicate effectively with affected developers.

Can one of the main admins on the list please suggest a viable approach?  One 
of the primary maintainers of the ruby-openid project could contact me directly 
(reply to this email?), or I could be provided with a short list of maintainers 
to contact.

Thank you
-
Chris
