CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) adalah serangan yang mengelabui browser pengguna yang sudah login untuk membuat permintaan yang tidak diinginkan ke situs tempat mereka terautentikasi — melakukan tindakan (transfer, perubahan) tanpa persetujuan mereka, memanfaatkan pengiriman otomatis kredensial/cookie oleh browser.
Cara kerja CSRF
The attack exploits that browsers AUTO-SEND cookies (incl. session cookies) with requests:
1. a user is LOGGED IN to a site (has a session cookie)
2. the user visits a MALICIOUS page (or clicks a crafted link)
3. that page makes a request to the target site (e.g. a hidden form auto-submitting)
4. the browser AUTOMATICALLY includes the user's session cookie → the site thinks it's
a legitimate request from the user → performs the action (transfer money, change email)
→ the user unknowingly performs an action they didn't intend.
