Description
Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is an attack where an end user is previously authenticated to a specific website and the user through social engineering (e.g., e-mail or chat) launches a hyperlink which executes unwanted actions on a website. A CSRF attack may execute any web site request on behalf of the user leading to compromise of the user’s data.
