[AD REMOVED]

This is a summary from the post https://nastystereo.com/security/rails-_json-juggling-attack.html

Basic information

When sending in a body some values not hashabled like an array they will be added into a new key called _json. However, It’s possible for an attacker to also set in the body a value called _json with the arbitrary values he wishes. Then, If the backend for example checks the veracity of a parameter but then also uses the _json parameter to perform some action, an authorisation bypass could be performed.
