[jira] [Created] (COUCHDB-2797) Apply CSRF protection only to form submissions

Robert Newson created COUCHDB-2797:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Apply CSRF protection only to form submissions
                 Key: COUCHDB-2797
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2797
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
            Reporter: Robert Newson


The new CSRF double-submit protection should be applied to form submissions, not all requests. XHR requests, in particular, are not vulnerable to CSRF, so we should skip the check there, saving middleware and other tools the effort of supporting this feature.
