Versions of `keystone` prior to 4.0.0 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). The package fails to validate the presence of the `X-CSRF-Token` header, which may allow attackers to carry actions on behalf of other users on all endpoints. ## Recommendation Update to version 4.0.0 or later.
