Cross-Site Request Forgery(CSRF)

Cross-Site Request Forgery

Cross-Site Request Forgery, or CSRF for short is a common and regular online attack is. CSRF also goes by the acronym XSRF and the phrase “Sea-Surf”. CSRF attacks include a malicious exploit of a website in which a user will transmit malicious requests that the target website trusts without the user’s consent. In Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), the attacker exploits the trust a user has for a website, with CSRF on the other hand, the attacker exploits the trust a website has against a user’s browser.
