Repeated "859: unexpected token" exceptions in a Rails 6 application

Viewed 47

Over the last several weeks, my Rails 6.1 app has been raising hundreds of exceptions like the following:

An ActionDispatch::Http::Parameters::ParseError occurred in regdevs#create:
859: unexpected token at 
'utf8=%E2%9C%93&authenticity_token=fnrg63qtelQvkQx9NQx8SaZIp7mR500toEiWdaJe91

%5D=1&commit=Complete+registration&g-recaptcha-response=dzghTWcBpmI'

The error occurs when "someone" tries to register for a new account (via Devise) with bogus credentials. It clearly looks like some sort of attack.

I have two questions:

  1. How can I find out more about this specific 859 unexpected token error?
  2. Should I be concerned? The recaptcha guard seems effective in blocking account creation, but I wonder if I am missing something
