Modify application code to include and validate CSRF tokens in all POST/PUT/DELETE requests
SameSite Cookie Attribute
allSet SameSite=Strict or SameSite=Lax attributes on session cookies
Set-Cookie: session=value; SameSite=Strict; Secure; HttpOnly
π§― If You Can't Patch
- Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block CSRF patterns
- Educate users about phishing risks and safe browsing practices
π How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if application version is 3.9.0 and lacks CSRF protection on forms. Test by attempting to submit forms without CSRF tokens.Check Version:
Check application configuration files or admin panel for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that all forms include unique CSRF tokens and that server validates them properly. Test that forms without valid tokens are rejected.π‘ Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Multiple failed form submissions from same IP
- Requests missing expected CSRF tokens
- Unusual administrative actions from unexpected sources
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests with Referer headers pointing to external domains
- POST requests without corresponding GET requests from same session
