Anti-CSRF Tokens

Updated June 2026·SecScanner Team

CSRF tokens prevent attackers from tricking users into performing unwanted actions.

Why It Matters

Without CSRF protection, attackers can craft malicious pages that submit forms to your site using the victim's authenticated session.

How We Check

We analyze forms for CSRF token presence and check for proper SameSite cookie attributes as an additional defense.

How to Fix

Implement CSRF tokens in all state-changing forms. Use SameSite=Lax or Strict cookies. Verify token on the server for each request.
