🚨 Severity: HIGH
💡 Vulnerability: The demo_login and demo_portal_login endpoints in apps/auth_app/views.py were decorated with @csrf_exempt, bypassing Django's built-in CSRF protection. This made the application vulnerable to Login CSRF, where an attacker could force a victim's browser to authenticate as a demo user (an attacker-controlled context), potentially leading to information disclosure or tricking the victim into performing actions within the demo session that they believe are their own.
🎯 Impact: High potential for abuse as it involves authentication boundaries. Even though these are demo endpoints, they should adhere to standard security practices and not allow forced logins.
🔧 Fix: Removed the @csrf_exempt decorators from both demo_login and demo_portal_login. Removed the unused csrf_exempt import. Frontend templates (templates/auth/login.html) already properly sent {% csrf_token %}, so native Django CSRF middleware now correctly protects these routes.
✅ Verification: Ran python3 -m pytest tests/test_auth_views.py -k "demo" locally and all 10 tests passed successfully, proving that normal demo login functionality works and is not disrupted by the added security constraint.
