ASP.Net Webforms CSRF Workflow

Posted by on February 7, 2012

An important aspect of application security is the ability to verify whether or not vulnerabilities exist in the target application.  This task is usually outsourced to a company that specializes in penetration testing or vulnerability assessments.  Even if the task is performed internally, it is important that the testers have as much knowledge about vulnerabilities as possible.  It is often said that a pen test is just testing the tester’s capabilities.  In many ways that is true.  Every tester is different, each having different techniques, skills, and strengths. Companies rely on these tests to assess the risk the application poses to the company.

In an effort to help add knowledge to the testers, I have put together a workflow to aid in testing for Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities.  This can also be used by developers to determine if, by their settings, their application may be vulnerable.  This does not cover every possible configuration, but focuses on the most common.  The workflow can be found here: CSRF Workflow.  I have also included the full link below.

Happy Testing!!
