Description

There is a security recommendation to enhance the admin API calls by adding request timeout settings and CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) protection. These measures are crucial to prevent potential security vulnerabilities that could arise from unprotected API calls.

Suggested Improvements

  1. Request Timeout: Implement a timeout setting for all admin API calls to ensure that requests do not hang indefinitely, which could lead to denial of service or other security issues.
  2. CSRF Protection: Integrate CSRF tokens in the admin API calls to protect against cross-site request forgery attacks, ensuring that requests are coming from authenticated and authorized users.

Action Items

  • Review the current admin API implementation to identify where these security measures can be integrated.
  • Implement request timeout settings for all admin API endpoints.
  • Add CSRF token validation to the admin API calls.
  • Test the implementation to ensure that the security measures are effective and do not disrupt normal API functionality.

Additional Notes

  • Consider consulting security best practices and guidelines to ensure comprehensive protection.
  • Document the changes and update any relevant API documentation to reflect the new security measures.
