Upgrade jquery-rails to versions 3.1.3, 4.0.4 or higher.
Overview
jquery-rails provides jQuery and the jQuery-ujs driver for your Rails 4+ application.
Affected versions allow a CSRF attack with a maliciously crafted anchor element. In the scenario where an attacker might be able to control the href attribute of an anchor tag or the action attribute of a form tag that will trigger a POST action, the attacker can set the href or action to " https://attacker.com" (note the leading space). This will be passed to JQuery, and be treated as a same origin request, potentially send the user's CSRF token to the attacker domain.
