CSRF Login attack

CSRF Login attack

Hackers trick users to log into their account by forging requests, exploiting server authentication.

Broken User Authentication (BUA)

"A login CSRF attack involves hackers tricking users into logging into an attacker-controlled account." "By forging a request using their credentials and submitting it to the victim's browser, the server mistakenly authenticates the request, granting access to the attacker's account."

How this template works

APIs Selection

The template uses API selection filters to specify criteria for selecting the desired API requests. In this case, it filters requests based on the response code being between 200 and 299, the URL containing certain keywords related to login, and the request payload containing certain keywords related to passwords.

Execute request

The template specifies a single request to be executed. It deletes a specific header from the request using the extracted value from the request headers. This step is performed to simulate the removal of a potentially vulnerable header that could be exploited in a CSRF login attack.

Validation

The template defines validation criteria for the response received from the executed request. It checks that the response code is between 200 and 299, the response payload matches at least 80% of the expected payload, and the response length is greater than 0. These validations ensure that the request was successful and the response meets the expected criteria.
