An example of an AI chatbot conversation about CSRF vulnerabilities in APIs.
What is CSRF and how does it affect APIs?
CSRF, or Cross-Site Request Forgery, is a type of attack that tricks a user into executing unwanted actions on a web application in which they're authenticated. In APIs, this can lead to unauthorized actions being performed.
Can you give me an example of a CSRF attack on an API?
Sure! Imagine a user is logged into their bank account. If they visit a malicious site that sends a request to transfer money from their account, the API might process it because the user is authenticated, leading to unauthorized transactions.
How can I protect my API from CSRF attacks?
You can protect your API by implementing anti-CSRF tokens, using the SameSite cookie attribute, and ensuring that state-changing requests require authentication.
Are there any tools to test for CSRF vulnerabilities?
Yes, tools like OWASP ZAP and Burp Suite can help you test for CSRF vulnerabilities in your APIs.
