More Content Security Policy with report-to
Sending even more Content Security Policy (CSP) violation reports with report-to, asynchronously and possibly grouping more reports together. Read general CSP reporting description for more details.
The CSP response header:
Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'none'; img-src 'self' https://www.michalspacek.cz; script-src 'nonce-Smi+LX+0WCzsQoh4te/ieJFN' 'self' 'report-sample'; style-src 'self' 'nonce-Smi+LX+0WCzsQoh4te/ieJFN'; form-action 'self'; report-to defaultdefault-src: what's allowed by default, includes images, fonts, JavaScript and more-
img-src: where to load images from, overridesdefault-srcfor images'self'means current URL's origin (scheme + host + port)

The Report-To response header:
Report-To: {"group":"default","max_age":1800,"endpoints":[{"url":"https://jane.has.report/report"}],"include_subdomains":true}group: the name of the group, the same as in the CSP header in thereport-todirectivemax_age: how long the browser should use the endpoint and report errors to it-
endpoints: reporting endpoint configuration, can specify multiple endpoints but reports will be sent to just one of themurl: where to send reports to, must behttps://, otherwise the endpoint will be ignored
Load any image
<script nonce="Smi+LX+0WCzsQoh4te/ieJFN">
document.getElementById('prompt-image').onclick = function() {
const url = prompt('Enter a URL to be used for an image', 'https://');
if (url) {
new Image().src = url;
alert('Tried loading an image from ' + url);
}
}
</script>
- Allowed or blocked depending on what URL you enter, only some images are allowed to load, see the CSP header above
- Check your reports (can take some time before the browser sends the report) – if blocked, a report will be sent
… any JavaScript file

document.getElementById('prompt-javascript').onclick = function() {
const url = prompt('Enter a URL to load a JS file from', 'https://');

}
}

document.getElementById('prompt-css').onclick = function() {
const url = prompt('Enter a URL to load a CSS file from', 'https://');

Submit a form anywhere
With form-action, you can limit where forms on your page can be submitted,
so if an attacker would inject a fake form or would change the action of your existing form, the browser wouldn't submit it.
Please note that form-action is not part of the default-src fallback, and needs to be explicitly specified if you want to limit where forms are to be submitted.
<script nonce="Smi+LX+0WCzsQoh4te/ieJFN">
document.getElementById('prompt-form').onclick = function() {
const url = prompt('Enter a URL where to submit a form to', 'https://');
if (url) {
const form = document.getElementById('submitForm');
if (form) {
form.setAttribute('action', url);
form.submit();
} else {
const form = document.createElement('form');
form.setAttribute('method', 'post');
form.setAttribute('class', 'hidden');
form.setAttribute('action', url);
form.setAttribute('id', 'submitForm');
const text = document.createElement('input');
text.setAttribute('type', 'text');
text.setAttribute('value', 'text value');
form.appendChild(text);
const hidden = document.createElement('input');
hidden.setAttribute('type', 'hidden');
hidden.setAttribute('value', 'hidden value');
form.appendChild(hidden);
document.getElementById('prompt-form').insertAdjacentElement('afterend', form);
form.submit();
}
alert('Submitted a form to ' + url);
}
}
</script>
