Hi absalito,

I'm already familiar with the topic in general, but thanks for mention
wikipedia because of: "The attacker must determine the right values
for all the form's or URL's inputs". This means for my understanding
URLs are a valid possibility to request actions that change data,
therefore they need protection.

Did you read the mentioned ticket, I guess this is a very good
explanation of what my concern is all about. So, the question above is
not about CSRF in general but rather why links aren't protected with
CSRF in symfony.

Kind regards
Enrico
