Reаl cаse — Netflix CSRF vulnerаbility (USA, 2006; dоcumented by Barth, Jacksоn, Mitchell — Stanfоrd) In 2006, security researchers at Stanford (Adam Barth, Collin Jackson, and John C. Mitchell) analyzed the security of major web services and documented a class of vulnerability they found in Netflix's DVD-by-mail service, among others. At the time, Netflix used HTTP GET requests to perform state-changing actions such as adding a title to a user's queue or modifying the shipping address on file. Because browsers automatically attach session cookies to GET requests for any domain, the researchers demonstrated that any page a logged-in Netflix customer visited could include an element such as , which the browser would load automatically and silently, sending the user's session cookie and causing Netflix to add the title to the user's queue as if the user had requested it. Netflix subsequently patched by requiring a per-request secret token to accompany these actions. Write a structured analysis (roughly 300-450 words) that: (1) names and justifies the primary vulnerability class from the mechanism and explains precisely which browser behavior the attack exploits; (2) distinguishes this attack from stored XSS on two dimensions — what the attacker needs to supply, and what runs in whose context; (3) explains why HTTP GET on state-changing actions made the exploit especially easy to launch via an img tag specifically, and whether switching all those actions to HTTP POST would fix the vulnerability; and (4) explains how Netflix's fix — a per-request secret token — breaks the attack mechanically, what the server must do to enforce it, and names one class of threat the token alone cannot stop. Student tip (not an answer): the most important conceptual anchor is 'automatic cookie attachment.' The browser sends the session cookie with every matching request whether the user clicked something or not, and whether the page that triggered the request is the real Netflix page or an attacker's page. Everything follows from that — why the attack works, why it exploits trust rather than injection, and why a token breaks it (because the token is something the attacker's page cannot read or predict). For the GET vs POST part, be careful: POST is harder to trigger via an img tag but NOT impossible to trigger via a form — so switching methods is not the fix. For the token's limit, think about what scenario still presents a valid token to the server.

Reаl cаse — Citibаnk Accоunt Online breach (USA, 2011) In May 2011 Citibank discоvered that hackers had breached its Accоunt Online portal. Investigators reported that after logging in with their own credentials, the attackers changed the account number embedded in the URL of the account-detail page and received another customer's data. By scripting this process — iterating through account numbers automatically — they accessed information for 360,083 North American credit card customers: names, account numbers, and contact details. The bank estimated $2.7 million was ultimately stolen by a connected criminal group. Select ALL statements that are well-supported by this description and by the principles taught in the course.
