Fine-grained control of CSRF Middleware coverage in CakePHP4. Don't let CSRF check only specific controllers.

Category：CakePHP4

Pub.date：2020-02-25

If you want CakePHP4 to check CSRF for the whole thing, but not for a specific controller or action. <br>
You can do this by specifying a whitelist.

## white list

The conclusion is a whitelist, but there is no mention of a whitelist on the official Japanese website (as of 2020/2/24). <br>
If you read the core code, you will find something called whitelistCallback().

vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/Http/CsrfProtectionMiddleware.php
```
public function whitelistCallback(callable $callback)
{
    $this->whitelistCallback = $callback;

return $this;
}
```

It was written on the official English website.

## Specify the scope(It's not the real deal)

The following can be found on the official Japanese website and in the comments of the code.
```
$routes->scope('/', function (RouteBuilder $builder) {
}
$routes->scope('/api', function (RouteBuilder $builder) {
}
```
This means that if you don't want only /api to be checked for CSRF, you can't control it.

## White list specification(one's heart's desire)

The overall CSRF check in routes.php is still in place, but it's not just a matter of whitelisting certain places to enable it.

First, comment out all CSRF Middleware in the default description.

config/routes.php
```
//use Cake\Http\Middleware\CsrfProtectionMiddleware;	//not using it here.
$routes->scope('/', function (RouteBuilder $builder) {

//$builder->registerMiddleware('csrf', new CsrfProtectionMiddleware([	//Comment out 3 lines
	//	'httpOnly' => true,
	//]));

//$builder->applyMiddleware('csrf');	//Comment out one line

});
```
In Application.php, whitelisting is done for the corresponding controller or action.<br>
In this example, only Apis/first is not checked for CSRF. In other cases, CSRF check is performed.

src/Application.php
```
public function middleware(MiddlewareQueue $middlewareQueue): MiddlewareQueue {
	// Added the following 12 lines
	$csrf = new CsrfProtectionMiddleware(['httpOnly'=>true]);
	$csrf->whitelistCallback(function ($request) {
		$controller = $request->getParam('controller');
		$action = $request->getParam('action');
		if (is_null($controller) || is_null($action)) {	//I could do without those three lines.
			return false;
		}
		if (strcmp($controller,'Apis') == 0 && strcmp($action,'first') == 0) {
			return true;
		}
		return false;
	});

$middlewareQueue
		->add(new ErrorHandlerMiddleware(Configure::read('Error')))
		->add(new AssetMiddleware([
			'cacheTime' => Configure::read('Asset.cacheTime'),
		]))
		->add(new RoutingMiddleware($this))
		->add($csrf);	//To be written in this position (order)
	return $middlewareQueue;
}
```

## as necessary

```
class ApisController extends SAppController {

public function beforeFilter(EventInterface $event) {
		parent::beforeFilter($event);
		$this->Auth->allow(['first']);
		$this->Security->setConfig('unlockedActions', ['first']);
	}
```

If necessary, add the following to the controller<br>
$this->Auth->allow();<br>
$this->Security->setConfig('unlockedActions', );<br>
