                 Key: NIFI-10855
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10855
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement

            Reporter: David Handermann
            Assignee: David Handermann


Apache NiFi 1.15.0 included significant changes to web application security, including the introduction of Cross-Site Request Forgery protection using Spring Security Filters.

The CSRF configuration builds on the standard Spring Security Filter and provides a stateless implementation based on the [Double Submit Cookie Pattern|https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Cross-Site_Request_Forgery_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet.html#double-submit-cookie]. The implementation maintains support for REST API access without cookies using the HTTP {{Authorization}} header, but documenting the implementation would provide additional background for clients integrating with the REST API.
