Answer:

CSRF attacks take advantage of the confidence a Web application has in a verified user.

Explanation:

An attack known as Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) compels authenticated users to send a request to a Web application for which they are already authorised. CSRF attacks take advantage of the confidence a Web application has in a verified user. (In contrast, cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks) take advantage of the user's faith in a specific Web application. If a Web application cannot distinguish between a request generated by a specific user and a request generated by a user without that user's knowledge, a CSRF attack can take advantage of that weakness.

Hence , CSRF attacks take advantage of the confidence a Web application has in a verified user.
