CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery)
- Tricks users into performing actions on a web application without their consent.
- Exploits authenticated user's session with the web application.
- Occurs when malicious requests are sent from another site to the target site where the user is authenticated.
- Consequences: Unauthorized actions like changing user settings, initiating transactions, or stealing data.
- Mitigation: Use anti-CSRF tokens, validate request origins, and implement SameSite cookie attribute.
