Ted Yu commented on HBASE-15187:
--------------------------------
bq. the equivalent CSRF attack vector in hbase
>From REST section of refguide:
To delete a table, use a DELETE request with the /schema endpoint:
http://example.com:8000<table>/schema
Suppose an attacker hosts a malicious web form on a domain under his control.
The form uses the DELETE action targeting a REST URL. Through social
engineering, the attacker tricks an authenticated user into accessing the form
and submitting it.
The browser sends the HTTP DELETE request to the REST gateway.
At REST gateway, the call is executed and user table is dropped
bq. why are our other servlets not also vulnerable
>From the header of JMXJsonServlet:
\* This servlet is based off of the JMXProxyServlet from Tomcat 7.0.14. It has
\* been rewritten to be read only and to output in a JSON format so it is not
\* really that close to the original.
As you may be aware of, GET is permitted method defined by
RestCsrfPreventionFilter:
{code}
+ static String REST_CSRF_METHODS_TO_IGNORE_DEFAULT = "GET,OPTIONS,HEAD,TRACE";
{code}
This means that read-only web pages such as those provided by JMXProxyServlet
are outside the scope of RestCsrfPreventionFilter.
w.r.t. using ESAPI to counter CSRF attacks, let me do a bit more homework.
Will get back.

> HADOOP-12691 introduced a filter in Hadoop Common to help REST APIs guard
> against cross-site request forgery attacks.
> This issue tracks the integration of that filter into HBase REST gateway.
