Severity
CWE	CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
OWASP	A01:2021 - Broken Access Control
Confidence Level	Medium
Impact Level	Low
Likelihood Level	Low

Description

The global CSRF protection in your Pyramid app has been configured with 'check_origin=False', which disables automatic verification of the request's origin. This weakens the defense against cross-site request forgery attacks, especially if an insecure CSRF storage policy is used.

Impact

By disabling origin checking, attackers may be able to trick authenticated users into performing unintended actions on your site. This can lead to unauthorized data changes, exposure of sensitive information, or other malicious activities, putting your users and application at risk.
