The embedded TrendMicro utitlity provides the protection against Cross-Site Request
Forgery. Cross-site request forgery is also known as one-click attack or session riding and is
abbreviated as CSRF. CSRF is a type of malicious exploit of a website, in this case, the camera.
Unauthorized commands are transmitted from a user that the web application trusts, using the
mechanism of forging a trusted user's own request with a request containing his own cookies,
etc. Different ways can be used for a malicious website to transmit such commands. They can
be specially-crafted image tags, hidden forms, and JavaScript XMLHttpRequests. The malicious
attack can occur without users' interaction or even knowing it.
