Adds a complete CSRF (CWE-352) lab with five progressive levels: - Level 1: session cookie only, no CSRF token at all - Level 2: token is issued but never validated - Level 3: token is validated but predictable (username:epochSeconds) - Level 4: protected POST plus a state-changing GET endpoint - Level 5: secure implementation (unpredictable token, SameSite=Lax) Each level has its own isolated user table (victim/attacker) and session cookie, a challenge card with hints, vanilla JS templates and expected issues entries for the ZAP benchmark.
- Replace innerHTML with DOM textContent in all CSRF templates (Levels 1-5) to prevent stored XSS via attacker-controlled email - Fix Level 2-3 showLoginState to use account.account.username consistently (CSRFLoginSession wrapping was causing undefined) - Add session TTL eviction (3600ms) with createdAt timestamp to prevent unbounded ConcurrentHashMap growth - Make CSRFLoginSession email/csrfToken fields volatile for cross-thread visibility - Remove 120-second weak token expiry window so Level 3 token stays valid for session lifetime (format itself is the weakness) - Use MessageDigest.isEqual for constant-time secure token comparison - Refactor level3ChangeEmail into shared changeEmail helper with BiFunction tokenValidator parameter - Replace manual Set-Cookie header with ResponseCookie for Level 5 SameSite=Lax attribute - Fix Level 3 attacker password default to Attacker@123 via select change handler - Eliminate null-returning RowMapper in authenticate method
Add 3 test classes covering CSRFAccount, CSRFSessionService, and CSRFVulnerability controller (all 5 levels): - Account getters/constructors - Authentication, session creation, token validation - Login, changeEmail, accountResponse endpoints - Weak vs secure token validation - Session isolation across levels - SameSite cookie header for Level 5 Co-Authored-By: opencode <noreply@opencode.ai>
Remove unused imports (eq, anyInt, never, assertNotNull, assertNull), fix line wrapping for VICTIM constant and verify call. Co-Authored-By: opencode <noreply@opencode.ai>
Apply google-javaFormat AOSP rules: single-line VICTIM/ATTACKER constants, chained .thenReturn() wrapping, single-line verify() calls. Co-Authored-By: opencode <noreply@opencode.ai>
Replace any() with any(Object[].class) to disambiguate between JdbcTemplate.query(String, Object[], RowMapper) and JdbcTemplate.query(String, PreparedStatementSetter, RowMapper). Co-Authored-By: opencode <noreply@opencode.ai>

Full details: Linked Issues checkExplanation The implementation covers the five CSRF levels, REST-style endpoints, isolated level tables, token handling, account changes, challenge content, and tests. However, the linked issue requires a React frontend and React SPA pattern, while the reviewable UI consists of static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript templates. This requirement is not met.

- Line 4: Remove the unused java.util.Optional import from
CrossSiteRequestForgeryVulnerability and apply the project’s Spotless formatting
to that file so spotlessJavaCheck passes.
- Around line 242-253: Update the Level 2 frontend flow associated with
level2GetToken so it invokes the GET endpoint when the page opens and renders
the returned CSRF token in the legitimate request path. Ensure the generated
token is stored or otherwise passed into the legitimate request, while
preserving the existing secure endpoint behavior.
- Around line 72-81: Update level1NoProtection to require a valid authenticated
victim_session instead of accepting the default "victim" value, then persist the
submitted email in profile state scoped to that session and level before
returning success. Use the session value and existing level-specific state
mechanisms rather than only echoing the request parameter.
- Around line 221-239: Implement the Level 5 CSRF contract in
CrossSiteRequestForgeryVulnerability.java: update level5SecureProtection and the
related token/bootstrap logic to store the token per authenticated session,
expose it in a bootstrap response, and validate X-CSRF-Token against server-side
state; configure SameSite for victim_session and secure_csrf_token, leaving
secure_csrf_token readable by the UI and usable over HTTP. Apply the
corresponding UI update in
src/main/resources/static/templates/CrossSiteRequestForgeryVulnerability/LEVEL_1/CrossSiteRequestForgeryVulnerability.js
(lines 101-105) and revise the localized claims in
src/main/resources/i18n/messages_en_US.properties (lines 330-363); the Java
sites at lines 221-239 and 269-274 both require the contract-related changes.
- Around line 154-158: Update the Level 3 lab request handling in
CrossSiteRequestForgeryVulnerability to add route-scoped CORS permitting only
the dedicated lab attacker origin, POST requests, the X-CSRF-Token header, and
credentials. Ensure preflight requests receive the corresponding headers and
reject arbitrary credentialed origins; do not broaden CORS beyond this route.
In
`@src/main/resources/attackvectors/CrossSiteRequestForgeryVulnerabilityPayload.properties`:
- Around line 1-4: Update CSRF payload URLs to target the vulnerable application
origin instead of resolving against the hostile page: change
CSRF_PAYLOAD_LEVEL_1 through CSRF_PAYLOAD_LEVEL_4 in
src/main/resources/attackvectors/CrossSiteRequestForgeryVulnerabilityPayload.properties
lines 1-4; apply the same target-origin format to each duplicated payload in
src/main/resources/i18n/messages_en_US.properties lines 337-358; and update the
payload source generation in
src/main/resources/static/templates/CrossSiteRequestForgeryVulnerability/LEVEL_1/CrossSiteRequestForgeryVulnerability.js
lines 25-56 to use that origin rather than root-relative paths.
In
`@src/main/resources/static/templates/CrossSiteRequestForgeryVulnerability/LEVEL_1/CrossSiteRequestForgeryVulnerability.css`:
- Line 83: Replace both word-break: break-word declarations with overflow-wrap:
anywhere, preserving the existing word-break behavior.

Require authenticated, level-specific state.
defaultValue = "victim" accepts requests without a session cookie. The session value is not used. The handler only echoes email in the response and does not change stored state.
A request without authentication can report success. The lab therefore does not demonstrate authenticated CSRF or isolated state per level. Require a valid session and persist the profile email by session and level.

Add route-scoped CORS for the Level 3 lab request. No CORS configuration exists, so the custom X-CSRF-Token header triggers a preflight that prevents the cross-origin POST from being sent. Allow only the dedicated lab attacker origin, POST, X-CSRF-Token, and credentials. Do not allow arbitrary credentialed origins.

Implement the Level 5 CSRF contract.
The initial request is rejected because secure_csrf_token is created only after successful validation. The UI cannot read the HttpOnly cookie through document.cookie. Store the token for the authenticated session and expose it through a bootstrap response, then validate X-CSRF-Token against that server-side state. Also configure SameSite for victim_session and the CSRF cookie. secure_csrf_token must not be HttpOnly if the UI continues to read it directly. Its Secure flag also prevents transmission over the documented HTTP deployment. Update the Level 5 UI and localized claims to match the final contract.

@mmustafasenoglu can you please relook at this? I tried running it and it is not working. I think as we have react SPA, we should call backend and load the csrf token into the state and then pass it while doing the Api call and that is the right mechanism.
Ensure, this works in both legacy and modern frontend.

Initialize and expose the Level 2 token.
The supplied page script never calls this GET endpoint. The generated token is also not stored or rendered for a legitimate request. The Level 2 experience therefore demonstrates an omitted token, not a token that the server ignores.
Load this endpoint when Level 2 opens and show the issued token in the legitimate request flow.

Make attack payloads address the vulnerable application origin.
The payloads are documented for hosting on a hostile page. Root-relative URLs then resolve to the hostile origin, not to the vulnerable application. The attacks do not reach the lab endpoint.

Require authentication in the test flow.
This test passes "victim" directly to the controller. The same pattern appears throughout this suite. The backend defaults a missing victim_session cookie to "victim" and does not validate session. An unauthenticated request can therefore perform the victim operation.
Remove the default victim session. Validate authenticated session state. Add an MVC-level test that omits victim_session and asserts that the request is rejected.

Exercise the documented token weaknesses.
Line 67 returns null, so the Level 2 “token present” test duplicates the missing-token case. Use a non-empty attacker-controlled header value and assert that the request still succeeds.
The Level 3 test passes the same caller-created value as both inputs. It therefore tests only equality with a supplied cookie. Capture a generated weak token when the cookie is absent and assert that its value has the expected timestamp-based format and time range.
Also applies to: 105-117

Do not accept an arbitrary matching token pair as secure validation.
The test creates "my-secure-token-123" and supplies it as both the cookie token and header token. The Level 5 implementation accepts any matching pair. This does not meet the required server-side CSRF enforcement.
Issue a random token for the authenticated session. Store or otherwise bind it server-side. Reject a matching pair that the server did not issue. Update this test to obtain an issued token through the authenticated flow.

I have looked at the PR and I have concerns regarding showing the email id of the user and then giving update option. I feel directly showing update is not a good UI design and how does user find out that it is actually updated. Please rethink. we have database as well and you can utilize it for storing and manipulating data.
