Summary: Document Cross-Site Request Forgery Protection
Key: NIFI-10855
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10855
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core UI, Documentation & Website
Reporter: David Handermann
Assignee: David Handermann
Apache NiFi 1.15.0 included significant changes to web application security,
including the introduction of Cross-Site Request Forgery protection using
Spring Security Filters.
The CSRF configuration builds on the standard Spring Security Filter and
provides a stateless implementation based on the [Double Submit Cookie
Pattern|https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Cross-Site_Request_Forgery_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet.html#double-submit-cookie].
The implementation maintains support for REST API access without cookies using
the HTTP {{Authorization}} header, but documenting the implementation would
provide additional background for clients integrating with the REST API.
