Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

rails_admin is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. Non-GET methods were not validating CSRF tokens and, as a result, an attacker could hypothetically gain access to the application administrative endpoints exposed by the gem.

Cross-site Scripting

An exploitable cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the "add filter" functionality of the rails_admin rails gem. A specially crafted URL can cause an XSS flaw resulting in an attacker being able to execute arbitrary javascript on the victim's browser. An attacker can phish an authenticated user to trigger this vulnerability.
