Cross-Site Request Forgery

Cross-Site Request Forgery is a common attack against web applications and typically happens due to weak session management. In the CSRF attack, the attacker sends a specially crafted link to the victim. As the victim clicks the link sent by attacker, it triggers some malicious action in the vulnerable application. Anti-CSRF or CAPTCHA are some of the common defenses against CSRF. OWASP has a special tool to test if an application is vulnerable to CSRF.
