I am trying to upgrade to 2.4.0.

It interferes with my application. I tried changing various settings in csrfguard.properties but they did not seem to have any effect.

Everything seems to work if I disable the CSRFGuard filter mapping in web.xml. But even if I only have it filter map the forum pages it has problems that report "HTTP Status 500 - Internal Server Error" with the following on the server:

Is there something that needs to be done to have the token created?

Thanks,

You can check the csrf related config files:
smilieWEB-INF/config/csrf.properties
Change
list=NoCsrfWorriesHere
to
list=AddToken

smilieWEB-INF/config/csrfguard.properties
Maybe you need to change the org.owasp.csrfguard.NewTokenLandingPage parameter

I don't know if it works, you can try it and report the result.

In cfrs.properties I set list=AddToken

Since I changed the index.jsp that came with jforum to forum.jsp in cfrsguard.properties I set org.owasp.csrfguard.NewTokenLandingPage=%servletContext%/forum.jsp

I did get further. I was able to go through the forums but when I try to open a post it thinks it is a cross-site request forgery and directs the browser to %servletContext%/error.html?OWASP_CSRFTOKEN=PBDD-410O-6Z38-IB97-MU6N-HCIG-IUT6-R8D2

On the server it has:

I think there is no need to modify csrf.properties, change it back to
list=NoCsrfWorriesHere
and try again

It seems to be working. Is there a way to simulate a Cross Site Request Forgery for testing? When it was incorrectly identifying a csrf it seemed to redirect to a non-existent page.

Also, I set the web.xml to map the filtering of csrfguard to *.page. Are there any others that should also be checked?

I finally enabled csrf a couple days ago on my live site and from the logs I see it analyzing requests.

Then today I got an error and had this in the log:

Hi Spencer,
Last time you said you set the web.xml to map the filtering of csrfguard to *.page.
Maybe you need to change back to /* .

Yes, I did limit it to *.page

When I did not do this the token interfered with the functionality of the site.

I will see if I can isolate the csrf so it does not interfere.

It would be good to have a test scenario for when csrf does prevent access to ensure that has proper behavior (and maybe an email notification of any problems).

When I enable csrf, in addition to breaking my site, on the server I get many of the following errors:

For the java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot create a session after the response has been committed issue,
Try to change the order of filters in web.xml as follows (Make CSRFGuard filter the latest filter):
<!-- Clickstream -->

<filter>
<filter-name>clickstream-jforum</filter-name>
<filter-class>net.jforum.util.legacy.clickstream.ClickstreamFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

<!-- CSRF Protection -->
<filter>
<filter-name>CSRFGuard</filter-name>
<filter-class>net.jforum.csrf.CsrfFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>clickstream-jforum</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.page</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>CSRFGuard</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>


And for the unknown module for /MapBake/MB1 issue,
Try to add them as unprotected page, like this:
org.owasp.csrfguard.unprotected.MB1=/MapBake/MB1

The changes had no effect. The same problems occur.

My unprotected settings (which seem to have no effect) are:

org.owasp.csrfguard.unprotected.Default=%servletContext%/
org.owasp.csrfguard.unprotected.Local=%servletContext%/MapBake
org.owasp.csrfguard.unprotected.Ajax=%servletContext%/MB1*
org.owasp.csrfguard.unprotected.Ajax2=/MB1*
org.owasp.csrfguard.unprotected.AjaxLocal=%servletContext%/MapBake/MB1*
org.owasp.csrfguard.unprotected.AjaxLocal2=/MapBake/MB1*
org.owasp.csrfguard.unprotected.MB1=MB1*
org.owasp.csrfguard.unprotected.allMB1=*MB1
org.owasp.csrfguard.unprotected.Jsp=*.jsp
org.owasp.csrfguard.unprotected.Jpeg=*.jpg
org.owasp.csrfguard.unprotected.Gif=*.gif
org.owasp.csrfguard.unprotected.Png=*.png
org.owasp.csrfguard.unprotected.Css=*.css
org.owasp.csrfguard.unprotected.Flash=*.swf
org.owasp.csrfguard.unprotected.JavaScript=*.js

The /MapBake is only on my local testing server and will not be needed/used on the live server.

On the web-xml file, I changed the "Owasp.CsrfGuard.Config.Print" property to false.
Under csfrGuard config property file I replaced the "%servletcontext%" string with empty string.

perhaps this will help someone searching for this in future

In csrfguard.properties I changed:

org.owasp.csrfguard.Config.Print = false

And re enabled the CSRFGuard filter-mapping in web.xml. I did still need to limit it to *.page to prevent interference with my application.

Initial tests seem OK.
