OWASP TOP 10 2013: Cross-site Request Forgery – CSRF

The eighth vulnerability on the list is Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF), a vulnerability that allows an attacker to make requests on behalf of a user. CSRF can lead to a wide range of state-changing requests such as changing credentials, transferring funds, and modifying settings being executed on the user’s behalf.
