[API] "Can't verify CSRF token authenticity" when attempting to update avatar for user

Similar issue here - Cant update email via API - invalid_access error

What I see on the server logs:

Started PUT "/u/brodie-16/preferences/avatar/pick.json" for 24.17.99.993 at 2022-09-08 10:28:10 +0000
Processing by UsersController#pick_avatar as JSON
  Parameters: {"upload_id"=>13, "type"=>"uploaded", "username"=>"pelican-16", "user"=>{}}
Can't verify CSRF token authenticity.
Completed 422 Unprocessable Entity in 34ms (Views: 0.3ms | ActiveRecord: 0.0ms | Allocations: 6549)

Request I’m making:

import requests
import json

url = "https://blah.blahblah.blah/u/brodie-16/preferences/avatar/pick.json"

payload = json.dumps({
  "upload_id": 13,
  "type": "uploaded"
})
headers = {
  'Api-Key': 'blahblahblahblahhhhh',
  'Api-Username': 'system',
}

response = requests.request("PUT", url, headers=headers, json=payload)

print(response.text)

Response I’m getting from the API:

{
    "failed": "FAILED"
}

I know it’s not load balancer/proxy related because it doesn’t even work locally from the instance I’m running Discourse on.

[root@ip-10-say-whatt-2 discourse]# curl --insecure --location --request PUT 'https://localhost/u/brodie-16/preferences/avatar/pick.json' \
> --header 'Api-Key: blahblah' \
> --header 'Api-Username: system' \
> --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
> --data-raw '{
>     "upload_id": 13,
>     "type": "uploaded"
> }'
{"failed":"FAILED"}

Someone else posted this recently as well - Can't verify CSRF token authenticity while creating topics

Anyone know what’s going on ?
