Hi,

I'm a bit late on the topic but I had a look at the different bugs and patches during hackfest (mainly because it didn't work for me, I will open a new bug report for that).

There is something in it that seems to cause bugs and I don't see a reason for it: it's the "cud-" thing.

As I understand it, now every request that create/update/delete something should be POST (or PUT/DELETE/PATCH) requests and have an 'op' parameter whose value start with 'cud-' and all other requests should be GET (or OPTIONS/TRACE/HEAD) requests and if they have an 'op' parameter it should not start with "cud-". Why do we need the "cud-" prefix if we can use the HTTP method for detecting which requests need to be protected ?

What seems strange is that the current implementation will allow a POST request without an 'op' parameter, but will block a POST request with an 'op' parameter that does not start with 'cud-'. It looks like we could get rid of this prefix check without losing anything. What did I miss ?

Hello all!

We have pushed the CSRF work from 34478 and related bugs today. We know there are more follow-ups needed, and have filed a series of bugs under an omnibus:

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=36192 <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=36192>

We have a framapad where issues can be reported/found:

https://annuel.framapad.org/p/koha_34478_remaining <https://annuel.framapad.org/p/koha_34478_remaining>

And we have bugs for each of the sections of the document. We need all developers to submit patches when they encounter issues, and for other users testing master to report found issues on the pad. Testers can report issues on the pad as well.

There is a new coding guideline - all POSTs to forms in Koha will need to include a csrf token:

https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Coding_Guidelines#Security <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Coding_Guidelines#Security>

This has been a big work, many thanks to all involved, and there is still work to be done, but this is an important fix that we must do.

You can reach out to me on IRC (kidclamp) or via email and I will do my best to help anyone contribute.

Thanks,

Nick
