CSRIDOM for Experts: Advanced Techniques

CSRIDOM (Cross-Site Request Forgery) is a common security vulnerability that can be exploited by attackers to perform unauthorized actions on behalf of a user. For experts looking to protect their applications from CSRF attacks, advanced techniques are essential.

One advanced technique is the use of anti-CSRF tokens, which are unique tokens generated for each user session and included in every request. These tokens are validated on the server side to ensure that the request is legitimate. Another technique is the implementation of SameSite cookies, which restrict the sending of cookies to third-party websites, preventing CSRF attacks.

Experts can also utilize double submit cookies, where a cookie value is set in a hidden form field and also in a cookie. This value is then checked on the server side to ensure that the request is legitimate. Additionally, experts can implement the Referer header check, which verifies that the request is coming from the same domain as the application.
