CSRF exists as a consequence of insecure-by-default browser handling of cookies, whereby the browser sends the host’s cookies on requests initiated by a third-party script to the vulnerable host. If a script can fake all headers, it’s not running in a browser, and so was never exposed to the insecure browser cookie handling to be able to leverage it as a vector. If no prerequisite vector, then no vulnerability to mitigate.
