Overview of this book

Spring Security enables developers to seamlessly integrate authorization, authentication, and a range of security features for complex enterprise applications. This book provides a hands-on approach to developing reactive applications using Spring and will help you get up and running in no time. Complete with step-by-step explanations, practical examples, and self-assessment questions, the book begins by explaining the essential concepts of reactive programming, Spring Framework, and Spring Security. You’ll then learn about a variety of authentication mechanisms and how to integrate them easily with a Spring MVC application. You’ll also understand how to achieve authorization in a Spring WebFlux application using Spring Security. Furthermore, the book will take you through the configuration required to implement OAuth2 for securing REST APIs, and guide you in integrating security in microservices and serverless applications. Finally, you’ll be able to augment add-ons that will enhance any Spring Security module. By the end of the book, you’ll be equipped to integrate Spring Security into your Java enterprise applications proficiently.

CSRF attacks specifically target state-changing requests, not theft of data, since the attacker has no way to see the response to the forged request.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) considers CSRF as one of the most common security risks for web applications. OWASP publishes a list (known as the OWASP Top 10) every year, highlighting the top 10 security risks plaguing web applications—it considers CSRF to be in fifth position.

In Spring Security, CSRF is enabled by default. If needs be (we have disabled this in many of our examples so that we are able to concentrate on the main concept that the examples are supposed to convey), we can disable it explicitly by adding the following code snippet in your Spring Security configuration:
