PHP CSRF attacks

Recommended Posts

Hey guys I am new to CSRF attacks and would like to know a little more about it. So I was messing with my code and here is what happened

There is 2 pages, demo.php and edit_account.php

demo.php and edit_account.php have the same exact form but the demo.php forms action value is edit_account.php.

edit_account.php is where the database and everything gets updated.

So when I submited the form on demo.php it went to edit_account.php and updated the database and everything because they have the same form names etc.

So is this considered a CSRF attack and does this mean I need to put a "token" or whatever they do to protect from these attacks on EVERY form; because some hacker can just make a fake website, copy the form from inspect element and put it on their website and be updating the data on another website without even them knowing.

 

Example form code that I tested and this attacked worked.

<form action="edit_account.php" method="POST">
<br><br><table style="width:60%">
 <tr>
   <td><font style="font-size:22px;font-weight:bold;">Birthday:</font></td>
 <td>
   <label class="a"><select name="birth_day"><option value='0'>Day</option><option value="1">1</option>
