From: Elrond Date: Mon, 3 Oct 2011 22:12:03 +0000 (+0200) Subject: Some mostly cosmetic changes to CSRF X-Git-Url: https://vcs.fsf.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2dc8d249326458b4d70e0cf1efbc956dccb12d3f;p=mediagoblin.git Some mostly cosmetic changes to CSRF * remove max_age - A session cookie is better, because it's a session thing, really. * Call the cookie mediagoblin_csrftoken, much clearer. * Use the SCRIPT_NAME for the path of the cookie, so that the cookie is sent back to the right place only. Alternatively the path= parameter could be removed, so that it defaults to '/'. * call the randomness function only once, instead of twice. 64 bits should be enough. If really more bits are needed, increase the number. * Just give the number as cookie. No point in md5 and hexdigest in my view (those functions just make another representation). * getrandbits gets a bit count directly, simpler API --- diff --git a/mediagoblin/config_spec.ini b/mediagoblin/config_spec.ini index 298a6951..900957ce 100644 --- a/mediagoblin/config_spec.ini +++ b/mediagoblin/config_spec.ini @@ -42,7 +42,7 @@ celery_setup_elsewhere = boolean(default=False) allow_attachments = boolean(default=False) # Cookie stuff -csrf_cookie_name = string(default='mediagoblin_nonce') +csrf_cookie_name = string(default='mediagoblin_csrftoken') [storage:publicstore] storage_class = string(default="mediagoblin.storage.filestorage:BasicFileStorage") diff --git a/mediagoblin/middleware/csrf.py b/mediagoblin/middleware/csrf.py index 44b799d5..7a5e352e 100644 --- a/mediagoblin/middleware/csrf.py +++ b/mediagoblin/middleware/csrf.py @@ -25,9 +25,9 @@ from mediagoblin import mg_globals # Use the system (hardware-based) random number generator if it exists. # -- this optimization is lifted from Django if hasattr(random, 'SystemRandom'): - randrange = random.SystemRandom().randrange + getrandbits = random.SystemRandom().getrandbits else: - randrange = random.randrange + getrandbits = random.getrandbits class CsrfForm(Form): @@ -54,7 +54,7 @@ class CsrfMiddleware(object): and matches the form token for non-safe requests.
