3 /**
4 * @file
6 * csrf-magic is a PHP library that makes adding CSRF-protection to your
7 * web applications a snap. No need to modify every form or create a database
8 * of valid nonces; just include this file at the top of every
9 * web-accessible page (or even better, your common include file included
10 * in every page), and forget about it! (There are, of course, configuration
11 * options for advanced users).
13 * This library is PHP4 and PHP5 compatible.
16 // CONFIGURATION:
18 /**
19 * By default, when you include this file csrf-magic will automatically check
20 * and exit if the CSRF token is invalid. This will defer executing
21 * csrf_check() until you're ready. You can also pass false as a parameter to
22 * that function, in which case the function will not exit but instead return
23 * a boolean false if the CSRF check failed. This allows for tighter integration
24 * with your system.
26 $GLOBALS['csrf']['defer'] = false;
28 /**
29 * This is the amount of seconds you wish to allow before any token becomes
30 * invalid; the default is two hours, which should be more than enough for
31 * most websites.
33 $GLOBALS['csrf']['expires'] = 7200;
35 /**
36 * Callback function to execute when there's the CSRF check fails and
37 * $fatal == true (see csrf_check). This will usually output an error message
38 * about the failure.
40 $GLOBALS['csrf']['callback'] = 'csrf_callback';
42 /**
43 * Whether or not to include our JavaScript library which also rewrites
44 * AJAX requests on this domain. Set this to the web path. This setting only works
45 * with supported JavaScript libraries in Internet Explorer; see README.txt for
46 * a list of supported libraries.
48 $GLOBALS['csrf']['rewrite-js'] = false;
50 /**
51 * A secret key used when hashing items. Please generate a random string and
52 * place it here. If you change this value, all previously generated tokens
53 * will become invalid.
55 $GLOBALS['csrf']['secret'] = '';
56 // nota bene: library code should use csrf_get_secret() and not access
57 // this global directly
59 /**
60 * Set this to false to disable csrf-magic's output handler, and therefore,
61 * its rewriting capabilities. If you're serving non HTML content, you should
62 * definitely set this false.
64 $GLOBALS['csrf']['rewrite'] = true;
66 /**
67 * Whether or not to use IP addresses when binding a user to a token. This is
68 * less reliable and less secure than sessions, but is useful when you need
69 * to give facilities to anonymous users and do not wish to maintain a database
70 * of valid keys.
72 $GLOBALS['csrf']['allow-ip'] = true;
74 /**
75 * If this information is available, use the cookie by this name to determine
76 * whether or not to allow the request. This is a shortcut implementation
77 * very similar to 'key', but we randomly set the cookie ourselves.
79 $GLOBALS['csrf']['cookie'] = '__csrf_cookie';
81 /**
82 * If this information is available, set this to a unique identifier (it
83 * can be an integer or a unique username) for the current "user" of this
84 * application. The token will then be globally valid for all of that user's
85 * operations, but no one else. This requires that 'secret' be set.
87 $GLOBALS['csrf']['user'] = false;
89 /**
90 * This is an arbitrary secret value associated with the user's session. This
91 * will most probably be the contents of a cookie, as an attacker cannot easily
92 * determine this information. Warning: If the attacker knows this value, they
93 * can easily spoof a token. This is a generic implementation; sessions should
94 * work in most cases.
96 * Why would you want to use this? Lets suppose you have a squid cache for your
97 * website, and the presence of a session cookie bypasses it. Let's also say
98 * you allow anonymous users to interact with the website; submitting forms
99 * and AJAX. Previously, you didn't have any CSRF protection for anonymous users
100 * and so they never got sessions; you don't want to start using sessions either,
101 * otherwise you'll bypass the Squid cache. Setup a different cookie for CSRF
102 * tokens, and have Squid ignore that cookie for get requests, for anonymous
103 * users. (If you haven't guessed, this scheme was(?) used for MediaWiki).
