That's assuming nobody uses anti-CSRF measures, right? If I've got an anti-CSRF token on a form, how are you going to attack it? Or what about pages (e.g., change password pages) that require you to enter your password? Certainly you'd need to know more than the URL scheme.
- tedunangst 15y agoI'm not assuming that nobody uses CSRF protection, but there have been a few high profile driveby attacks against gmail over the years. Presumably future gmail attackers will do the same thing that past gmail attackers did: find a bug.
