Description

The CSRF reference docs links to ​https://www.squarefree.com/securitytips/web-developers.html#CSRF

I propose it should link to ​https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/csrf#overview

Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) is the standard for security related questions, we should be pushing developers to that resource. Beyond that, the examples on that page do a much better job of explaining a CSRF attack and how to protect against it.
