Description
The documentation confuses idempotent with read-only:
https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/reference/features/exploits/csrf.html
Safe methods are expected to be readonly (not idempotent). This also the reference states:
"Request methods are considered "safe" if their defined semantics are
essentially read-only" https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7231#section-4.2.1
An idempotent method can change things, but multiple same requests have the same outcome (e.g. set the user's address via PUT request).
