"Potential CSRF(Cross-site Request Forgery) detected" error

[naumovskib]

Hi All,

I am encountering a "Potential CSRF(Cross-site Request Forgery) detected against" error in a fresh installation of 4.7.1.1 User Application. The custom workflow that is in place has a custom script in the approval form, where a separate function checks for the logged user's group membership. Without this function, the approval form works as expected, but when it is added, the approval form opens and the session is closed with the following error in the User Application log (no further information even in DEBUG):
ERROR [com.novell.common.AntiCsrfServletFilter] (https-jsse-nio-8543-exec-26) [RBPM] Potential CSRF(Cross-site Request Forgery) detected against /IDMProv/UIQuery?service=vdm&uasess=-7120981205847460543. Session has been logged out.
The function that checks the user membership does a IDVault.get as shown below, to retrieve the members of the group and checks if the user is listed:
var group_members = IDVault.get(null, dn_group_owners , 'group', 'Member');

Is there a reason for this happening and is there a way to go around it?

Thank you in advance,
Boris
