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

Research direction
Review the provided Baeldung guide on Spring Security CSRF and adapt it to the Grails framework used by streama. Examine the application's existing security configuration (likely in Grails security plugins or Spring Security XML/Java config) and identify where to enable CSRF protection. Also, check the Grails documentation for CSRF support (e.g., grails.plugin.springsecurity).
