How to Prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Attacks

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is a type of cyberattack that may lead to unauthorised transactions or data changes by tricking users into taking unexpected actions on websites that have been authenticated. Developers can use a number of safeguards to reduce the risk of cross-site request forgery (CSRF), such as CSRF tokens to validate requests, SameSite cookie attributes to manage cross-origin cookie sharing, double-submit cookie techniques to confirm the authenticity of requests, and stringent CORS policies to limit cross-domain requests. Security is further improved by further measures like multi-factor authentication and the enforcement of secure HTTP protocols. Developers may defend web apps and user data from harmful exploits by implementing these principles.
