Java: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

CSRF tokens help verify that requests are made by authenticated users, preventing unauthorized commands.

CSRF tokens are crucial for securing form submissions by ensuring that requests originate from the authenticated user. Without CSRF protection, malicious sites could trick users into submitting unwanted requests, exploiting the user's authenticated session. In a Java-based e-commerce site, every form submission includes a CSRF token, validated on the server to confirm the request's legitimacy.
