Potential fix for https://github.com/Cision-DevOps/PasswordPusher/security/code-scanning/1
To fix the issue, CSRF protection should be enabled for all requests, including JSON requests. If JSON requests are part of an API, they should be secured using token-based authentication mechanisms (e.g., API keys, OAuth tokens) rather than relying on cookies. The
protect_from_forgeryline should be updated to remove the conditional disabling of CSRF protection.Steps to fix:
unless: -> { request.format.json? }condition from theprotect_from_forgerycall to ensure CSRF protection is applied universally.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
