Cross-site request forgery, also known as one-click attack or session riding and abbreviated as CSRF (sometimes pronounced sea-surf [1]) or XSRF, is a type of malicious exploit of a website or web application where unauthorized commands are submitted from a user that the web application trusts. [2]
A de facto standard for identifying the originating protocol of an HTTP request, since a reverse proxy (or a load balancer) may communicate with a web server using HTTP even if the request to the reverse proxy is HTTPS. An alternative form of the header (X-ProxyUser-Ip) is used by Google clients talking to Google servers.
Fetch metadata headers, which include the Sec-Fetch-Site, Sec-Fetch-Mode, Sec-Fetch-User and Sec-Fetch-Dest header, which provide information about the domain that initiated the request, details about the request's initiation, and the destination of the request respectively to the defending web server, have also been used to mitigate cross-site ...
Naive deployments of JSONP are subject to cross-site request forgery (CSRF or XSRF) attacks. [12] Because the HTML <script> element does not respect the same-origin policy in web browser implementations, a malicious page can request and obtain JSON data belonging to another site. This will allow the JSON-encoded data to be evaluated in the ...
Cross-site scripting (XSS) [a] is a type of security vulnerability that can be found in some web applications.XSS attacks enable attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
The request has been fulfilled, resulting in the creation of a new resource. [6] 202 Accepted The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request might or might not be eventually acted upon, and may be disallowed when processing occurs. 203 Non-Authoritative Information (since HTTP/1.1)
Spoofing often allows access to a site's content where the site's web server is configured to block browsers that do not send referer headers. Website owners may do this to disallow hotlinking. It can also be used to defeat referer checking controls that are used to mitigate Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks.
Server-side request forgery (SSRF) is a type of computer security exploit where an attacker abuses the functionality of a server causing it to access or manipulate information in the realm of that server that would otherwise not be directly accessible to the attacker.
