Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks trick a user into executing unintended actions on a web application where they are authenticated. Attackers exploit the trust that a site has for the user, potentially leading to unauthorized fund transfers, password changes, or data theft. Preventing CSRF can be achieved through the use of anti-CSRF tokens that validate user requests, enforcing same-site scripting policies, and using the Double Submit Cookie pattern.
