Accept base64_urlsafe CSRF tokens to make forward compatible.
Base64 strict-encoded CSRF tokens are not inherently websafe, which makes
them difficult to deal with. For example, the common practice of sending
the CSRF token to a browser in a client-readable cookie does not work properly
out of the box: the value has to be url-encoded and decoded to survive transport.In this version, we generate Base64 urlsafe-encoded CSRF tokens, which are inherently
safe to transport. Validation accepts both urlsafe tokens, and strict-encoded
tokens for backwards compatibility.How the tokes are encoded is controllr by the
action_controller.urlsafe_csrf_tokens
config.In Rails 5.2.5, the CSRF token format was accidentally changed to urlsafe-encoded.
Atention: If you already upgraded your application to 5.2.5, set the config
urlsafe_csrf_tokens
totrue
, otherwise your form submission will start to fail
during the deploy of this new version.Rails.application.config.action_controller.urlsafe_csrf_tokens = true
If you are upgrading from 5.2.4.x, you don't need to change this configuration.
