django-csrf-protect-form
The CSRF middleware and template tag from Django framework provides easy-to-use protection against Cross Site Request Forgeries. This protector has some inconveniences for XHR POST requests.
This module enables CSRF protection only for HTML forms when content type of the request is one of the following:
- application/x-www-form-urlencoded
- multipart/form-data
- text/plain
It is generally safe to exclude XHR requests from CSRF protection, because XHR requests can only be made from the same origin. Check your CORS configuration before using this module. Use django-cors-headers module to protect your site with CORS.
Installation
Install with pip or pipenv:
pip install django-csrf-protect-formConfiguration
You can set a list of content types which have CSRF protection enabled. The default value is:
CSRF_PROTECT_FORM_CONTENT_TYPE = [
'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'multipart/form-data',
'text/plain',
