[Feat]: Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) to Enhance Application Security #1117

Open usernayeem opened 2 months ago

usernayeem commented 2 months ago

What feature?

The application currently lacks a Content Security Policy (CSP), which increases the risk of cross-site scripting (XSS) and other injection attacks. Implementing a CSP is essential to enhance the security of the application.

Describe the solution you'd like

I propose implementing a CSP with the following directives to mitigate potential security risks:

Describe alternatives you've considered

Without a CSP, the application remains vulnerable to various injection attacks. The alternative would be to rely solely on input validation and sanitization techniques, but these measures alone are not sufficient to fully protect against XSS and similar threats.

Additional context

Implementing a CSP is a crucial step in improving the application’s security posture. By specifying the sources from which content can be loaded, we can significantly reduce the attack surface available to potential attackers.
