Class CsrfComponent

Provides CSRF protection & validation.

This component adds a CSRF token to a cookie. The cookie value is compared to request data, or the X-CSRF-Token header on each PATCH, POST, PUT, or DELETE request.

If the request data is missing or does not match the cookie data, an InvalidCsrfTokenException will be raised.

This component integrates with the FormHelper automatically and when used together your forms will have CSRF tokens automatically added when $this->Form->create(...) is used in a view.

Method Summary

Method Detail

_setCookie()source protected

_setCookie( Cake\Http\ServerRequest $request , Cake\Network\Response $response )

Set the cookie in the response.

Also sets the request->params['_csrfToken'] so the newly minted token is available in the request data.

Parameters

Cake\Http\ServerRequest $request
The request object.
Cake\Network\Response $response
The response object.

_validateToken()source protected

_validateToken( Cake\Http\ServerRequest $request )

Validate the request data against the cookie token.

Parameters

Cake\Http\ServerRequest $request
The request to validate against.

Throws

Cake\Network\Exception\InvalidCsrfTokenException
when the CSRF token is invalid or missing.

implementedEvents()source public

implementedEvents( )

Events supported by this component.

Returns

array

Overrides

Cake\Controller\Component::implementedEvents()

startup()source public

startup( Cake\Event\Event $event )

Startup callback.

Validates the CSRF token for POST data. If the request is a GET request, and the cookie value is absent a cookie will be set.

Once a cookie is set it will be copied into request->getParam('_csrfToken') so that application and framework code can easily access the csrf token.

RequestAction requests do not get checked, nor will they set a cookie should it be missing.

Parameters

Cake\Event\Event $event
Event instance.

__debugInfo()source public

__debugInfo( )

Returns an array that can be used to describe the internal state of this object.

Returns

array

__get()source public

__get( string $name )

_configDelete()source protected

_configDelete( string $key )

Deletes a single config key.

Parameters

string $key
Key to delete.

Throws

Cake\Core\Exception\Exception
if attempting to clobber existing config

_configRead()source protected

_configRead( string|null $key )

Reads a config key.

Parameters

string|null $key
Key to read.

Returns

mixed

_configWrite()source protected

_configWrite( string|array $key , mixed $value , boolean|string $merge false )

Writes a config key.

Parameters

string|array $key
Key to write to.
mixed $value
Value to write.
boolean|string $merge optional false

True to merge recursively, 'shallow' for simple merge, false to overwrite, defaults to false.

Throws

Cake\Core\Exception\Exception

config()source public

config( string|array|null $key null , mixed|null $value null , boolean $merge true )

Gets/Sets the config.

Usage

Reading the whole config:

$this->config();

Reading a specific value:

$this->config('key');

Reading a nested value:

$this->config('some.nested.key');

Setting a specific value:

$this->config('key', $value);

Setting a nested value:

$this->config('some.nested.key', $value);

Updating multiple config settings at the same time:

$this->config(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);

Deprecated

3.4.0 use setConfig()/getConfig() instead.

Parameters

string|array|null $key optional null
The key to get/set, or a complete array of configs.
mixed|null $value optional null
The value to set.
boolean $merge optional true
Whether to recursively merge or overwrite existing config, defaults to true.

Returns

mixed
Config value being read, or the object itself on write operations.

Throws

Cake\Core\Exception\Exception
When trying to set a key that is invalid.

configShallow()source public

configShallow( string|array $key , mixed|null $value null )

Merge provided config with existing config. Unlike config() which does a recursive merge for nested keys, this method does a simple merge.

Setting a specific value:

$this->config('key', $value);

Setting a nested value:

$this->config('some.nested.key', $value);

Updating multiple config settings at the same time:
