Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Attack!

How can you protect an Angular web app from cross-site request forgery attacks?
**
**Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is an attack where an unauthorized user can perform actions on behalf of an authenticated user without their consent.

To protect an Angular web app from CSRF attacks, you can follow these best practices:

• Use CSRF Token in each HTTP request
• Use HttpOnly and Secure Cookies
• SameSite Cookie Attribute
• You need to import HttpClientModule with HttpClientXsrfModule and configure it in your app module:

import { HttpClientModule, HttpClientXsrfModule } from '@angular/common/http';

@NgModule({
imports: [
HttpClientModule,
HttpClientXsrfModule.withOptions({
cookieName: 'XSRF-TOKEN', // default
headerName: 'X-XSRF-TOKEN', // default
}),
],
})
export class AppModule {}
