How To Fix WEBDYNPRO_RT025 - Commit canceled; request is not XSRF-checked

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WEBDYNPRO_RT - Message class of Web Dynpro runtime

• Message number: 025

• Message text: Commit canceled; request is not XSRF-checked

What causes this issue?

The active request could not be checked against XSRF attacks. The
application attempted anyway to execute a commit work to the database.

System Response

The Web Dynpro ABAP framework interrupts the commit work with an error
message.

How to fix this error?

When changes are made to the database, ensure that the request can be
checked against XSRF beforehand. With stateless applications this can be
done by using method POST-UPDATE for the Form UI element. This ensures
that relevant security features can be assigned for the request.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WEBDYNPRO_RT025 - Commit canceled; request is not XSRF-checked ?

  The SAP error message:
  WEBDYNPRO_RT025 Commit canceled; request is not XSRF-checked
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Web Dynpro applications when a commit operation is attempted but the HTTP request has not passed the XSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) token check. SAP Web Dynpro uses XSRF tokens to protect against CSRF attacks by ensuring that state-changing requests (like commits) come from a trusted source.
  If the request does not contain a valid XSRF token or the token is missing/invalid, the framework cancels the commit to prevent potential security risks.
  
  Explanation
  
  XSRF Token: A security token generated by the server and sent to the client. The client must send it back with any state-changing requests.
  Commit operation: When the application tries to save or update data in the backend.
  If the token is missing or invalid, the framework raises this error to prevent unauthorized or forged requests.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Ensure XSRF Token is Requested and Sent Properly
  
  When making state-changing calls (POST, PUT, DELETE), the client must first request an XSRF token from the server.
  The token is usually retrieved by sending a GET request with the header:
  X-CSRF-Token: Fetch
  
  The server responds with a token in the response header:
  X-CSRF-Token: <token_value>
  
  The client must then include this token in the header of subsequent state-changing requests:
  X-CSRF-Token: <token_value>
  
  
  
  
  In Web Dynpro ABAP
  
  If you are developing or customizing Web Dynpro applications, ensure that the framework or your code properly handles the XSRF token.
  Use the standard Web Dynpro APIs to handle commit operations, which internally manage XSRF tokens.
  Avoid manual commit calls without proper token handling.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code or Extensions
  
  If you have custom code or enhancements that perform HTTP requests or commits, verify that they correctly handle the XSRF token.
  For example, in custom JavaScript or AJAX calls, implement the token fetch and send logic.

  Summary
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Description
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  Commit canceled because the HTTP request lacks a valid XSRF token (security check failed).
  
  
  Effect
  Data changes are not saved; error message WEBDYNPRO_RT025 is raised.
  
  
  Solution
  Ensure the client fetches and sends the XSRF token with commit requests; fix custom code.
  
  
  Prevention
  Use standard Web Dynpro APIs and follow SAP security guidelines for XSRF protection.
