Answer
CSRF tokens ensure requests are intentionally made by authenticated users.
CSRF tokens are unique tokens included in requests to verify that the request comes from an authenticated user, not a malicious site. In Java applications using frameworks like Spring Security, CSRF tokens are included in forms and verified on the server side. This prevents unauthorized actions on behalf of users.
