Content Security Policy Manager

Description

Content Security Policy Manager is a WordPress plugin that allows you to easily configure Content Security Policy headers for your site. You can have different CSP headers for the admin interface, the frontend for logged in users, and the frontend for regular visitors. The CSP directives can be individually enabled, and each policy can be set to enforce, report or be disabled.

Please note that this plugin offers limited help in figuring out what the contents of the policy should be. It only lets you configure the CSP in a easy to use interface.

FAQ

What is a Content Security Policy?

To quote MDN:

Content Security Policy (CSP) is an added layer of security that helps to detect and mitigate certain types of attacks, including Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and data injection attacks. These attacks are used for everything from data theft to site defacement to distribution of malware.

To enable CSP, you need to configure your web server to return the Content-Security-Policy HTTP header.

How do I enable reporting?

Reporting can be enabled by setting the report-uri and/or report-to directives. You will need the URL to a server that can handle these kinds of reports, which there are several of. Report URI is one example of such a service, they have a free tier that allows up to 10 000 reports per month (any more than that is just ignored, no extra cost). They also have a CSP wizard that can help you construct your policy.

Reporting can be enabled both in report only mode and in enforce mode. You can use report-only mode to evaluate the contents of the policy by looking at which resources are reported as blocked.

Report To not working

ningmorris July 13, 2023

Hello, Since report-uri is no longer recommended anymore, I need to use report-to to send CSP reports. But for reason, it doesn’t send reports with report-to. My CSP settings are as follows: In Policy: report-to filed, I filled in csp-endpoint , in Frontend Policy Report-To Header field, I filled in the following JSON data { “group”: “csp-endpoint”, “max_age”: 10886400, “endpoints”: [ { “url”: “{CSP REPORT ENDPOINT}” } ] } After saving changes in the CMS, all the commas disappeared in Frontend Policy Report-To Header field. { “group”: “csp-endpoint” “max_age”: 10886400 “endpoints”: [ { “url”: “{CSP REPORT ENDPOINT}” } ] } I am wondering if you can help to take a look at it, thanks! Note: I have no problem with report-uri.

As soon as I leave the backend the view of my side is without any CSS. Only the plain HTML.

Very helpful and useful plugin. do you provide filters ?

buzibuzi January 25, 2023

We are really happy with this plugin.im wondering if you provide a filter so i can merge some dynamic ‘nonce-xx’ to the policy header. this could be very very useful.

I like all the options for logged-in versus anonymous and report-only

This plugin is well thought out and does what I need it to. It has also helped me troubleshoot other website’s CSP that wasn’t working correctly, and the documentation is solid if brief.

Extraordinaire !
