Are there any mobile apps vulnerable to XSS or CSRF?
Therefore CSRF is not likely within a mobile application. XSS could still be an issue though as anything rendered in a web page displayed by an app where JavaScript is enabled could cause JavaScript code execution if such a flaw exists, just like within a web browser. XSS is usually an attack against a server.
How to prevent CSRF / XSRF in ASP.NET Core web API?
You can create a controller and inject IAntiforgery for getting the XsrfToken and then send this with request to validate.
How are Razor pages protected from XSRF / CSRF attacks?
Razor Pages are automatically protected from XSRF/CSRF. For more information, see XSRF/CSRF and Razor Pages. The most common approach to defending against CSRF attacks is to use the Synchronizer Token Pattern (STP). STP is used when the user requests a page with form data:
Can a CSRF attack happen on multiple domains?
A CSRF attack can only happen when cookies are shared on the client. By that I mean that the client has access to cookies from multiple domains (such as a web browser storing cookies for each site you visit). However, a web application API client typically only contacts a single domain (that of your API).
Is it possible to trick someone with XSS?
XSS is usually an attack against a server. Unless your phone is serving Web pages to external connections this should not be a problem. If your server that is serving the pages to the phone is vulnerable then XSS is identical to a normal website – with the exception it may be harder to trick someone into following a link.
When does a CSRF or XSS attack occur?
A CSRF attack can only happen when cookies (or other authentication mechanisms) are provided by the client automatically. That is, where the client has access to cookies from multiple domains (such as a web browser storing cookies for each site you visit).
Can a mobile app have a web viewer?
However, a mobile app containing a web viewer will typically only have the cookies for its own system. The cookies will not be shared with other applications using the same web viewer control.
