CSRF: review state-changing operations
Risk depends on how the browser sends session authority.
Content produced with AI assistance for Thiago Silva’s website. Independent editorial analysis; it does not represent clients or employers.
Reading context
A short architecture article. The technical reference supports the topic; hypothetical scenarios and assessment proposals are editorial analysis, not accounts of personal implementations.
Original source ↗The architecture decision
A sensitive operation may appear protected because it requires login. The review must also ask whether another site can induce the authenticated browser to trigger it. This is a flow question, not just a screen question.
Practical application
Editorial proposal: list address, contact and security-setting changes. Record authentication and protection against unintended requests for each route. A cookie setting does not replace reviewing the complete context.
How to verify
In a test environment, verify that relevant operations reject requests missing the application's required evidence. Include errors and alternative paths. Link each control to its protected operation and maintenance owner.
