------------------------------------
Summary: Extend CSRF Filter with UserAgent Checks
Key: HADOOP-12758
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12758
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Components: security
Reporter: Larry McCay
Assignee: Larry McCay
To protect against CSRF attacks, HADOOP-12691 introduces a CSRF filter that
will require a specific HTTP header to be sent with every REST API call. This
will affect all API consumers from web apps to CLIs and curl.
Since CSRF is primarily a browser based attack we can try and minimize the
impact on non-browser clients.
This enhancement will provide additional configuration for identifying
non-browser useragents and skipping the enforcement of the header requirement
for anything identified as a non-browser. This will largely limit the impact to
browser based PUT and POST calls when configured appropriately.
