Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is a web security vulnerability where an attacker tricks a user's browser into performing actions on a website while the user is authenticated. This happens without the user's knowledge or consent, leveraging the established trust between the user's browser and the targeted website. Essentially, the attacker crafts a malicious request that appears to originate from the legitimate user, potentially leading to unauthorized changes or actions on their account.
