Explain what is CSRF (Cross Site Request Forgery)? How you can prevent this?

Answer Posted / chaitanya

CSRF or Cross site request forgery is an attack from a malicious website that will send a request to a web application that a user is already authenticated against from a different website. To prevent CSRF you can append unpredictable challenge token to each request and associate them with user’s session.  It will ensure the developer that the request received is from a valid source.
