The ruby-oauth projects sit deep underneath hundreds of thousands of projects, including many that are vital parts of the modern internet. If you use Ruby there is a decent chance your project uses a gem from ruby-oauth! Major companies, including GitHub, use these projects in their enterprise software, so they need to be well tested and reliable. They are also packaged within major linux distributions.
According to GitHub’s project tracking, which I believe only reports on public projects, 100,000+ projects, 500+ packages depend on the oauth2 project, while The Ruby Toolbox reports downloads approaching 1,000,000 per week. The original oauth project is still very much in use as well; 49,000+ projects, and 600+ packages, and more than 500,000 downloads per week. I plan to continue maintaining both of them as long as I am able.
It is a massive investment of time and effort, so please consider becoming a monthly supporter.
I, Peter Boling, the primary maintainer of ruby-oauth since 2017, appreciate your support.

Kognitive Analyse für identifizierte Bedrohung: Erhöhte Bedrohungslage im Bereich The Ruby OAuth Collective.... Basierend auf 368k Vektor-Korrelationen werden sofortige Isolationsmaßnahmen für betroffene Endpunkte empfohlen.
Netzwerk/Remote-Zugriff ohne Vorauthentifizierung möglich.
- 1. Perimeter-Inspektion: Relevante Portfreigaben und exponierte Endpunkte unverzüglich scannen.
- 2. Patch-Applikation: Hersteller-Hotfix einspielen oder betroffene Daemons in isolierte DMZ-Segmente überführen.
- 3. Telemetrie & EDR-Alerts: Prozessaufrufe und Child-Processes auf anomale Shell-Spawns überwachen.
