Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is an attack that tricks the victim into submitting a malicious request. It uses the identity and privileges of the victim to perform an undesired function on their behalf.
In the provided code, CSRF protection is disabled with the line `http.csrf(obj -> obj.disable())`. This is typically done for APIs that are designed to be stateless, where the server does not maintain any state between requests.
In a stateless API, there's no session information that a CSRF attack could take advantage of. Therefore, CSRF protection is often unnecessary and can be safely disabled to simplify the code and improve performance.
However, if your application uses sessions or any other type of stateful authentication, it's generally a good idea to leave CSRF protection enabled to prevent potential attacks.
