Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is an attack that exploits the trust relationship between a user’s browser and a server-based website. In a CSRF attack, the attacker tricks the authenticated user’s browser into sending a request to a third-party site, which the browser is already authenticated with, without the user’s knowledge or consent. This can lead to unauthorized actions being performed on the user’s behalf, such as changing user settings, posting content, or even initiating financial transactions. The attack leverages the fact that the browser automatically includes credentials like cookies, session tokens, or other authentication information with each request to a site123.
