The Content Security Policy (CSP) is a computer security standard that serves as
|
|
an additional layer of protection against various types of attacks, including
|
|
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and clickjacking. It provides a set of standard
|
|
procedures for loading resources by user agents, which can help to mitigate the
|
|
risk of content injection vulnerabilities.
|
|
|
|
However, it is important to note that CSP is not a primary line of defense, but
|
|
rather a safety net that catches attempts to exploit vulnerabilities that exist
|
|
in the system despite other protective measures. An insecure CSP does not
|
|
automatically imply that the website is vulnerable, but it does mean that this
|
|
additional layer of protection is weakened.
|
|
|
|
A CSP can be considered insecure if it allows potentially harmful practices,
|
|
such as inline scripts or loading resources from arbitrary domains. These
|
|
practices can increase the risk of content injection attacks.
