The “csrf_trusted_origins” Directive in HTML
The “csrf_trusted_origins” directive is used in HTML to specify the trusted origins for Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection. This directive allows the server to determine whether to enforce CSRF protection for requests originating from specific origins. By default, CSRF protection is enabled for all origins.
Here is an example of how to use the “csrf_trusted_origins” directive:
<meta name="csrf_trusted_origins" content="https://example.com https://trusted-domain.com">
In the above example, the “csrf_trusted_origins” directive is set to allow requests originating from the “https://example.com” and “https://trusted-domain.com” origins to bypass CSRF protection.
If a request is made from an origin that is not listed in the “csrf_trusted_origins” directive, the server will enforce CSRF protection by generating and validating a CSRF token. This helps prevent CSRF attacks where an attacker tricks a user into performing actions on their behalf.
Note that the “csrf_trusted_origins” directive is just one part of a comprehensive CSRF protection strategy. Other measures like using CSRF tokens, checking HTTP headers, and implementing proper authentication should also be implemented to strengthen security.
