sfCSRF plugin

The sfCSRFPlugin plugin provides protection against Cross Site Request Forgeries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Csrf).

This plugin is a backport of a symfony 1.1 native feature.

Installation

• Install the plugin

  symfony plugin-install http://plugins.symfony-project.com/sfCSRFPlugin
  

• Enable the plugin in filters.yml and choose a secret

  csrf:
    class: sfCSRFFilter
    param:
      secret: my$ecret
  

• Clear you cache

  symfony cc
  

Usage

As soon as you enable the plugin in your filters.yml configuration file, you are protected against CSRF attacks.

How does it work?

The CSRF filter automatically adds a hidden field called _csrf_token for every form before the response is sent to the browser. The token value is made of the user session_id and the secret you have configured in the filters.yml file.

When a form is submitted in POST, the CSRF filter checks for the token value. If the token is not present or if the value is not the excepted one, the plugin send a sfException exception.
