What are CSRF token issues and how can I fix them?

CSRF token issues occur when a web application fails to validate a user's request, allowing unauthorized actions. To fix them, ensure that your application generates a unique CSRF token for each session and validates it on form submissions.

How do I implement CSRF tokens in my web application?

To implement CSRF tokens, generate a token on the server side and include it in your forms as a hidden input. On form submission, validate the token on the server to ensure it matches the one generated.

What happens if I don't use CSRF tokens?

Without CSRF tokens, your application is vulnerable to attacks where malicious sites can perform actions on behalf of authenticated users, potentially compromising user data.

Can you give me an example of a CSRF attack?

Sure! An example of a CSRF attack is when a user is tricked into clicking a link that submits a form on a banking site, transferring money without their consent.
