Your Browser Firewall Is Missing — It’s Called CSP
What is a CSP Header?
A Content Security Policy (CSP) is a special HTTP header that tells browsers which sources of content are safe to load on your website — and which are not.
Think of it as a security firewall for the browser. It controls where your scripts, images, styles, and other assets can be loaded from.
For example, a CSP rule like:
Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' https://www.google-analytics.com;
ensures that only scripts from your own domain and Google Analytics are allowed to run, blocking everything else — including malicious injected scripts.
A strong CSP works like a smart security camera for your website, watching every script that tries to run and blocking untrusted ones before they cause harm.
Why It’s Important
CSP headers play a critical role in preventing Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and data injection attacks — two of the most common web vulnerabilities.
By enforcing strict content sources, CSP helps you:
Stop attackers from injecting unauthorized scripts.
Prevent data leaks and browser hijacking.
Meet compliance requirements (recommended in OWASP Top 10 and Google Web.dev security best practices).
In fact, Google, Mozilla, and major security firms highlight CSP as one of the most effective browser-based mitigations for XSS attacks.
One real-world case: Google reported that websites using a strong CSP saw up to 90% reduction in XSS exploitability, drastically lowering the risk of session hijacking and credential theft. [read more]
