Description
GLPI has currently a distinct CSRF check logic for AJAX endpoint. Indeed, for these specific endpoints, a CSRF token can be consumed multiple times, see 93750ea
The propose change permits to consider that a request is an AJAX request when the
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
is used (it is commonly used as a flag to mark AJAX requests by the popular JS frameworks), instead of checking tha the request is made on a/ajax/xxx
path.The idea is to permit to use any URL pattern for AJAX endpoints.
