LAB 338 – Defending Go Applications Against CSRF (NEW)

Course Overview

Cross-site request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities occur when a web application performs sensitive actions without validating that the request originated from within the application. Attackers exploit this vulnerability to manipulate legitimate users into executing malicious actions unknowingly. In this lab, learners gain hands-on experience identifying and mitigating CSRF vulnerabilities in Go applications. The recommended mitigation strategy involves implementing Anti-CSRF tokens to validate requests performing sensitive or dangerous functionality. The virtual environment provides a vulnerable application and complete source code to train developers effectively.ÔøΩAfter completing this Skill lab, the learner will understand how to defend Go applications against CSRF vulnerabilities and implement appropriate mitigation strategies.
