Semgrep identified an issue in your code:
A CSRF middleware was not detected in your express application. Ensure you are either using one such as csurf
or csrf
(see rule references) and/or you are properly doing CSRF validation in your routes with a token or cookies.

View step-by-step instructions
- Install the
csurf
middleware by running the command:$ npm install csurf
. - Import
csurf
at the top of your file withconst csurf = require('csurf');
. - Add the
csurf
middleware to your Express app. You can do this by addingapp.use(csurf());
after initializing your Express app withconst app = express();
. - Ensure that your application is using a session middleware or cookie parser, as
csurf
requires either to store the CSRF tokens. If not already included, install and configure one, such asexpress-session
orcookie-parser
. - Update your routes to handle CSRF tokens. For example, in your
/feed
route, you can include the CSRF token in the response by addingres.json({ activityFeed, csrfToken: req.csrfToken() });
.
This setup will help protect your application from CSRF attacks by ensuring that requests include a valid CSRF token.
