I wrote a CSRF protection for my forms and added a hidden token. The post is send to the same action. So my formAction
code looks like this:
if($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
$token = $this->_getParam('token');
if(isset($this->session->token) &&
isset($cellarToken) &&
$token == $this->session->token) {
......process form.......
}
else {
error_log('possible CSRF attack');
}
}
else {
$this->session->token = md5(uniqid(mt_rand(),true));
$this->view->token = $this->session->token;
}
and in my view html I add:
<input type="hidden" value="<?= $this->token; ?>" name="token" />
This works for all major browsers but does make some problems in Webkit Browsers like Chrome, Safari. Here I get a second GET request to my contact in the background which generates a new token and thus the form is not valid....
Does anyone know where this second request is coming from? If it would be my own code there would be a second request in ALL browsers...
