• dj-rest-auth

  22 1,583 6.7 Python

  Authentication for Django Rest Framework

  

Project mention: Can someone help me understand CSRF security? (context inside) | /r/django | 2023-09-25

I am using dj-rest-auth for authentication. I am using JWT token authentication. All advice on JWT tokens is to not store them in local storage. Instead, using this package I store them in HttpOnly cookie. Now, I am apparently vulnerable to CSRF attack. So I enable JWT_AUTH_COOKIE_USE_CSRF. This checks the CSRF token on authenticated requests. However, there is still the potential vulnerability known as "login CSRF" as detailed by this issue on Github. In order to account for this, there is another setting called JWT_AUTH_COOKIE_ENFORCE_CSRF_ON_UNAUTHENTICATED. This enforces CSRF on unauthenticated views (such as login).

Project mention: GraphQL is for Backend Engineers | dev.to | 2024-02-05

On the backend, developers either need to manually document the entire API or rely on auto-generation tools that don’t fully meet their needs. Consumers face the same choice, write code by hand or workaround the bugs in their SDK generator (stated, lovingly, as the maintainer of an OpenAPI client generator). On top of this, these solutions result in inconsistent understandings of the API. Reproducing errors becomes time-consuming and frustrating, which feels like a battle instead of a collaboration. What we need is a shared language to describe how the API works—one that doesn’t add unnecessary layers of abstraction or manual work.
