Many attacks on the web involve cross-site requests, including the well-known cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attack. These attacks trick the victim’s browser into performing an unintended request to a trusted website. Because users trust Rapidgator PayPal with their most sensitive data, it’s critical that we make our defenses against these attacks as strong as possible.
Dealing with cookie authentication is very risky. It could create many availability and security issues. In the worst cases, it could lock many users out (and force them to manually reset their cookies), log users into another user’s account, or completely disable our CSRF defenses!
Therefore, we decided to roll out same-site cookie defenses in two stages: first in “warnings-only” mode, where we log all errors, and later in “enforcement” mode when we see no unexpected errors. Further, we would want to be flexible in terms of what kinds of requests we would like to enforce the same-site check for. Enabling the same-site check for POST requests only would be equivalent to our current CSRF check, but wouldn’t necessarily be a defense against cross-origin information leakage or be helpful with entry-point investigation.
What does a CSRF attack look like? As an example, let’s pretend Rapidgator was naively not protecting against CSRF attacks. The attack starts when a victim visits an attacker-controlled website. The evil website then returns a page with a malicious payload. The browser executes this malicious payload, which makes a request to and attempts to remove user data.
However, we noticed that our Rapidgator Reseller has much fewer non-entry points than we expected. We suspect that modern web applications might not have many non-entry points, but we’d love to hear your thoughts. Contact us to get your Rapidgator Key now!
