Subject: Net::OpenID::Consumer does not use a nonce to prevent replay attacks
Currently Net::OpenID::Consumer is completely ignoring the response_nonce sent by the server and not including a nonce of its own. It *does* use a proprietary mechanism to include a timestamp, which at least limits the window of time for a replay attack.
I believe this is fixed in Net-OpenID-Consumer-1.11 If you want to try it out, please make sure you've also installed the latest Net-OpenID-Common. Feel free to re-open (or start a new ticket) if I'm mistaken about this. Thanks for the report and sorry this took so long to get to... - Roger Crew (new co-maintainer as of a few weeks ago)
