All Implemented Interfaces:

jakarta.servlet.Filter, org.springframework.beans.factory.Aware, org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanNameAware, org.springframework.beans.factory.DisposableBean, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean, org.springframework.context.EnvironmentAware, org.springframework.core.env.EnvironmentCapable, org.springframework.web.context.ServletContextAware

public final class CsrfFilter
extends org.springframework.web.filter.OncePerRequestFilter

Applies CSRF protection using a synchronizer token pattern. Developers are required to ensure that CsrfFilter is invoked for any request that allows state to change. Typically this just means that they should ensure their web application follows proper REST semantics (i.e. do not change state with the HTTP methods GET, HEAD, TRACE, OPTIONS).

Typically the CsrfTokenRepository implementation chooses to store the CsrfToken in HttpSession with HttpSessionCsrfTokenRepository. This is preferred to storing the token in a cookie which can be modified by a client application.
