Description

See https://portswigger.net/web-security/csrf/tokens - Currently streama is lacking this type of validation and has potential for security risks due to it.

There is a guide here, maybe that works https://www.baeldung.com/spring-security-csrf

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement CSRF token validation using Spring Security as described in the Baeldung guide. Add the necessary configuration and ensure all state changing endpoints require a valid token.
