csrf-cross-site-request-forgery

csrf-cross-site-request-forgery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JustineDevs/premortem. It costs 44 tokens per session (4,192 once invoked), scanned D, a copy of csrf-cross-site-request-forgery, Apache-2.0.

A security playbook for cross-site request forgery, an attack that causes a logged-in user’s browser to send an unwanted change to a website. It covers request tokens, cookie rules, JSON requests, login flows, and OAuth state checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing password changes, email changes, role updates, account actions, JSON endpoints, login flows, OAuth callbacks, and other state-changing web requests.
Why use it?
It helps identify whether a website trusts a browser session cookie without verifying that a state-changing request was intentionally made by the user.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is Attack: Set PROFILE_ID to ../../admin/dangerous-action.

Good fit Use it when reviewing password changes, email changes, role updates, account actions, JSON endpoints, login flows, OAuth callbacks, and other state-changing web requests.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade D, and why

csrf-cross-site-request-forgery scanned grade D with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

SKILL: CSRF — Cross-Site Request Forgery — Expert Attack Playbook

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert CSRF techniques. Covers modern bypass vectors (SameSite gaps, custom header flaws, tokenless bypass patterns), JSON CSRF, multipart CSRF, chaining with XSS. Base models often present only basic CSRF without covering SameSite edge cases and common broken token implementations.

Also load:


1. CORE CONCEPT

CSRF exploits a victim's active session to perform state-changing requests from the attacker's origin.

Required conditions:

  1. Victim is authenticated (active session cookie)
  2. Server identifies session via cookie only (no secondary check)
  3. Attacker can predict/construct the valid request
  4. Cookie is sent cross-origin (SameSite=None or legacy behavior)

2. FINDING CSRF TARGETS

High-value state-changing endpoints:

- Password change         ← account takeover
- Email change            ← account takeover
- Add admin / change role ← privilege escalation
- Bank/payment transfer   ← financial impact
- OAuth app authorization ← hijack oauth flow
- Account deletion
- Two-factor auth disable  
- SSH key / API key addition
- Webhook configuration
- Profile/contact info update

3. TOKEN BYPASS TECHNIQUES

No Token Present

Simplest case — form simply lacks CSRF token. Check if POST /change-email has any token. If not → trivially exploitable.

Token Not Validated (most common finding!)

Token exists in request but is never verified server-side:

Remove the _csrf_token parameter entirely → does request still succeed?
→ YES → trivial bypass

Token Tied to Session but Not to User

Step 1: Log in as UserA → obtain valid CSRF token
Step 2: Log in as UserB in other browser → obtain UserB CSRF token  
Step 3: Use UserB's CSRF token in UserA's session (attacker controls UserB)
→ If server validates token exists but doesn't check if it belongs to the session → bypass

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
