What means CSRF?
Cross-Site Request Forgery
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is an attack that forces authenticated users to submit a request to a Web application against which they are currently authenticated. An attacker’s aim for carrying out a CSRF attack is to force the user to submit a state-changing request.
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks allow an attacker to forge and submit requests as a logged-in user to a web application. CSRF exploits the fact that HTML elements send ambient credentials (like cookies) with requests, even cross-origin. This does not mean CSRF attacks are any less important to defend against.
What is Csrf_exempt?
If you add @csrf_exempt to the top of your view, then you are basically telling the view that it doesn’t need the token. This is a security exemption that you should take seriously.
What is SSRF Owasp?
Server-side request forgery (SSRF) is an attack that allows attackers to send malicious requests to other systems via a vulnerable web server. Listed in the OWASP Top 10 as a major application security risk, SSRF vulnerabilities can lead to information exposure and open the way for far more dangerous attacks.
How do I stop a service from letting users terminate it?
Services have access control lists. If you don’t want a service to let users terminate it, then set the access control on the service so that users don’t have the permissions you don’t like, and have the service run under an account that users don’t have access to. You can change the access control list the command line way or the fancy GUI way.
How do I disable or block an account from another user?
On the Accounts page of the Settings window, click Family & other users. In the Family section of the Family & other users pane, click the account you want to disable to display your options for managing the account. If the user is a family member, you have an option to block the account On the account tile, click Block.
Who can stop or terminate a service?
Normally, the only users who can stop or terminate services are administrators. And you can’t defend yourself from administrators because they are already on the other side of the airtight hatchway: Any setting you set to thwart the adminitrator, the administrator can simply reset.
What is CSRF and how does it work?
If the victim is a normal user, a successful CSRF attack can force the user to perform state changing requests like transferring funds, changing their email address, and so forth. If the victim is an administrative account, CSRF can compromise the entire web application.
