Re: [EP-tech] Ask about CSRF. Always get error when edit phrases Editor

Hi David,
You said I can delete auto.js file and will get new version of auto-3.4.0.js that has the CSRF protection code. If I delete the file, how exactly I can get new auto-3.4.0.js that has the CSRF protection code?

Thank you

Regards,
Agung PW

Hi Agung Prasetyo Wibowo,

This could be one of two issues:

1. You have updated lib directory versions of the various _javascript_ files that are patched in the two GitHub links you included but there are other versions that take precedence so these changes will not propagate through to the version at MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "hostname" claiming to be http://HOSTNAME/_javascript_/auto-3.4.0.js.  Look for files with the same name in the equivalent pub_lib, site_lib or archives/ARCHIVE_NAME directories.

2. auto-3.4.0.js is still cached and you need to hard refresh the page to get these changes to come.  I have tried doing this as I know your repository hostname (i.e. Ctrl+Shift+R for a hard refresh) and this seems to make no difference and I cannot find the string 'csrf' anywhere in auto-3.4.0.js.  One other issue with caching might be that archives/ARCHIVE_NAME/html/en/_javascript_/auto.js and the files in archives/ARCHIVE_NAME/html/en/_javascript_/auto/ cannot be overwritten due to a file permission issues.  If you delete all these files, this may resolve the issue and give you the new version of auto-3.4.0.js that has the CSRF protection code.

Hi,
I'd like to ask. My EPrints version is 3.4. I want to edit one of the field on phrases editor, but always get error

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) was detected whilst processing your last request and therefore its action was not authorised.

Please help about this issue.

Thank you.
