Questions tagged [django-csrf]

django-csrf is the Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection middleware for Django.

The Csrf Middleware for Django modifies outgoing requests that are associated with a session by adding a hidden form field to all 'POST' forms, with name 'csrfmiddlewaretoken' and a value which is a hash of the session ID plus a secret.

The middleware then processes all incoming POST requests that have the session cookie set, checks that the 'csrfmiddlewaretoken' is present and correct, and if it isn't, throws a 403 error.
