Request Forgery: CSRF Get Based¶

Identifier: frontend_csrf_get_based

Scanner(s) Support¶

GraphQL Scanner	REST Scanner	WebApp Scanner	ASM Scanner

Description¶

GET-based CSRF vulnerabilities occur when frontend applications accept state-changing actions via GET requests, allowing attackers to trick authenticated users' browsers into making unintended requests.

How we test: We identify frontend GET endpoints that perform state-changing operations and test if they can be exploited via cross-site requests. We check if CSRF protection mechanisms such as tokens or same-site cookies are properly implemented to prevent unauthorized actions.
