Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-2797:
----------------------------------------
Some controversy on the matter, more voices urgently needed.
> Apply CSRF protection only to form submissions
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-2797
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2797
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Reporter: Robert Newson
>
> The new CSRF double-submit protection should be applied to form submissions,
> not all requests. XHR requests, in particular, are not vulnerable to CSRF, so
> we should skip the check there, saving middleware and other tools the effort
> of supporting this feature.
