OWASP CSRFGuard

Welcome to the home of the OWASP CSRFGuard Project! OWASP CSRFGuard is a library that implements a variant of the synchronizer token pattern to mitigate the risk of Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.

Introduction

The OWASP CSRFGuard library is integrated through the use of a JavaEE Filter and exposes various automated and manual ways to integrate per-session or pseudo-per-request tokens into HTML.

Description

When a user interacts with this HTML, CSRF prevention tokens (i.e. cryptographically random synchronizer tokens) are submitted with the corresponding HTTP request. It is the responsibility of OWASP CSRFGuard to ensure the token is present and is valid for the current HTTP request. Any attempt to submit a request to a protected resource without the correct corresponding token is viewed as a CSRF attack in progress and is discarded. Prior to discarding the request, CSRFGuard can be configured to take one or more actions such as logging aspects of the request and redirecting the user to a landing page. The latest release enhances this strategy to support the optional verification of HTTP requests submitted using Ajax as well as the optional verification of referrer headers.


Licensing

Volunteers

CSRFGuard is developed by a worldwide team of volunteers. The primary contributors to date have been:

  • Ahamed Nafeez, a Security Engineer at Citrix Systems, where he works on end-to-end penetration testing to researching exotic security topics to creating threat models. He has an above average interest in client-side security and network security.

Others

  • Eric Sheridan was the original designer of CSRFGuard until 3.0 version.

As of CSRFGuard the priorities are:

  • Address any security vulnerabilities around javascript prototype hijacking
  • Support for Internet Explorer
  • Addressing outstanding issues listed in GitHub
  • Support for Multi-part requests
  • Add support for the 'Origin' header

Involvement in the development and promotion of CSRFGurd is actively encouraged! You do not have to be a security expert in order to contribute. Some of the ways you can help:

  • Make fix to the actual version
  • Propose a security enhcement
  • Write a complete Architecture Folder for CSRFGurd
  • Add an IA engine to detect unknown attacks.
