AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Comment Form CSRF Protection is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Spam category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 2 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Comment Form CSRF Protection works
WordPress has a 12-year-old unfixed security vulnerability that it does not properly validate incoming comments.
An attacker can trick both anonymous and logged-in users to post comments on a victim site without them realizing, while using their own credentials.
See this issue for more information: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10931
This is a tiny (fewer than 40 effect lines of code) module that adds a secure token to the comment form and validate it before accepting any comment, thus making your comment forms secure as they should\’ve been for all these years!
It provides no UI – just install it, and you are all set!
This plugin adds a secret cryptographically-secure token to the comment form. This is a unique value and is computationally impractical to guess it.
Upon comment submission, the comment is rejected if the secret tokens are not present or computationally invalid.
