Java: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

The Spring Security filter chain is a series of filters that intercept requests to provide security services.

In Spring Security, the filter chain is a sequence of filters that process HTTP requests before they reach your application's resources. Each filter can perform tasks such as authentication, authorization, CSRF token validation, and more. For example, when a user logs into a Java-based e-commerce platform, the filter chain might first check the user's credentials, verify a CSRF token, and then allow access to protected resources if everything checks out.
