When a web server is designed to receive a request from a client without any mechanism for verifying that it was intentionally sent, then it might be possible for an attacker to trick a client into making an unintentional request to the web server which will be treated as an authentic request.

### Python

Ensure CsrfViewMiddleware is enabled and never use @csrf_exempt on state-changing views

## Warning Signs

- [HIGH] View handles POST/PUT/DELETE without @csrf_protect or @ensure_csrf_cookie decorator
- [HIGH] Django views that handle POST/PUT/DELETE requests without CSRF
protection

## Consequences

- एप्लिकेशन डेटा संशोधित करना
- विशेषाधिकार प्राप्त करना
- अनधिकृत कोड निष्पादित करना

## Mitigations

- स्थिति बदलने वाले सभी अनुरोधों में anti-CSRF टोकनों का उपयोग करें
- Referer हेडर की जाँच करें
- SameSite कुकी विशेषता का उपयोग करें

## Detection

- Total rules: 3
- Languages: javascript, typescript, python, go

## Rules by Language

### Python (1 rules)

- **Django Missing CSRF Protection** [HIGH]: Detects Django views that handle POST/PUT/DELETE requests without CSRF
protection. CSRF tokens prevent malicious sites from performing actions
on behalf of authenticated users.
  - Remediation: Add CSRF protection:

```python
# Option 1: Use csrf_protect decorator
from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_protect

@csrf_protect
def my_view(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        # Handle POST
        pass

# Option 2: Enable CSRF middleware (recommended)
# In settings.py MIDDLEWARE:
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
```
