CAPTCHA, commonly believed to protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), does not provide such security as it merely verifies whether a challenge is solved, not by whom. This misunderstanding persists, even though attack scenarios demonstrating CAPTCHA's inadequacy for CSRF protection have been known since at least 2013. Despite recommendations from sources like OWASP suggesting CAPTCHA's use, its implementation is often misinterpreted, leading to false confidence in CSRF protection. Google's reCAPTCHA also does not inherently guard against CSRF attacks, as its design focuses on distinguishing humans from bots rather than preventing request forgery. Although using remote IP addresses could theoretically bolster defenses, it introduces complications such as legitimate users being blocked when switching networks. Therefore, even with CAPTCHA or reCAPTCHA in place, monitoring for CSRF vulnerabilities remains essential, as relying solely on these tools could leave systems exposed to attack.
