Which of the following types of web-based attack is happening when an attacker is able to send a well-crafted, malicious request to an authenticated user realizing it?
Cross-site scripting (or XSS) allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript within the browser of a victim user.
Cross-site request forgery (or CSRF) allows an attacker to induce a victim user to perform actions that they do not intend to.
Answer is correct
"CSRF occurs when a hacker is able to send a well-crafted, yet malicious, request to an authenticated user that includes the necessary parameters (variables) to complete a valid application request without the victim (user) ever realizing it."
