CSRF token validation allows tokens to be passed via query string (req.query._csrf), which is insecure as query parameters can be logged in server logs, browser history, and referrer headers. This creates a security vulnerability where CSRF tokens could be leaked. Remove req.query._csrf from the validation and only accept tokens from request body or headers.

Suggested change
// Get token from request body, query, or header
var requestToken = req.body._csrf || req.query._csrf || req.headers['x-csrf-token'];
// Get token from request body or header (do not accept from query string)
var requestToken = req.body._csrf || req.headers['x-csrf-token'];
