URI(referer) can raise exceptions. Should we make sure that returns false?

Indeed, it raises an error on non-string attribute.
So what if I use URI(referer.to_s).host == request.host?

I think there are more cases where it could raise. I'd prefer to call to_s but also rescue the possible exceptions and return false in those cases.

We should also rescue URI:: Error and better to move URI(referer.to_s).host == request.host to a private method.
