CSRF Vulnerability in LifestyleStore v1.0
📌 Overview
This repository documents a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified in the LifestyleStore v1.0 project. The flaw allows attackers to perform unauthorized actions on behalf of authenticated users, posing risks to data integrity and account security.
🛠️ Technical Details
- Type: CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery)
- Impact: Unauthorized actions such as data modification or account compromise.
- Affected Version: LifestyleStore v1.0
- Severity: High
💡 How It Works
- The application does not validate the authenticity of requests.
- Attackers can trick users into executing unintended actions by embedding malicious links or forms in a third-party site.
- Once clicked, the actions are executed in the context of the victim's authenticated session.
🔒 Steps to Mitigate
To protect against CSRF vulnerabilities, implement:
- CSRF Tokens: Add unique tokens to all forms and validate them on the server.
- SameSite Cookies: Use
SameSite attributes for cookies to prevent cross-origin requests.
- User Confirmation: Require explicit user confirmation for sensitive actions.
