CVE-2020-28452: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

January 20, 2021 (updated January 27, 2021)

CSRF protection can be bypassed by forging a request that contains the same value for both the X-XSRF-TOKEN header and the XSRF-TOKEN cookie value, as the check in randomTokenCsrfProtection only checks that the two values are equal and non-empty.
