Abstract

The article focuses on Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) and its implications for web application security, detailing how it exploits browser behavior and the mechanisms available to mitigate its risks. Although CSRF was removed from the OWASP Top 10 list in 2017, it continues to pose significant threats, including unauthorized actions, privilege escalation, and potential data theft. The article explains the role of the Same-Origin Policy (SOP) and introduces CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) and the SameSite cookie attribute as protective measures against CSRF attacks. It also outlines various defense mechanisms, such as the use of CSRF tokens and the importance of configuring CORS and SameSite attributes effectively to enhance security.
