[jira] [Created] (SPARK-15440) Add CSRF Filter for REST APIs to Spark

Yanbo Liang created SPARK-15440:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Add CSRF Filter for REST APIs to Spark
                 Key: SPARK-15440
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15440
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Deploy, Spark Core
            Reporter: Yanbo Liang


CSRF prevention for REST APIs can be provided through a common servlet filter. This filter would check for the existence of an custom HTTP header - such as X-XSRF-Header.

The fact that CSRF attacks are entirely browser based means that the above approach can ensure that requests are coming from either: applications served by the same origin as the REST API or that there is explicit policy configuration that allows the setting of a header on XmlHttpRequest from another origin.
