script_src must be set

Not setting a script_src value means your policy falls back to whatever default_src (also required) is set to. This can be very dangerous and indicates the policy is too loose.

However, sometimes you really don't need a script-src e.g. API responses (default-src 'none') so you can set script_src: SecureHeaders::OPT_OUT to work around this.

Default Content Security Policy

The default CSP has changed to be more universal without sacrificing too much security.

  • Flash/Java disabled by default
  • img-src allows data: images and favicons (among others)
  • style-src allows inline CSS by default (most find it impossible/impractical to remove inline content today)
  • form-action (not governed by default-src, practically treated as *) is set to 'self'

Previously, the default CSP was:

content-security-policy: default-src 'self'

The new default policy is:

default-src https:; form-action 'self'; img-src https: data: 'self'; object-src 'none'; script-src https:; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https:

CSP configuration

  • Setting report_only: true in a CSP config will raise an error. Instead, set csp_report_only.
  • Setting frame_src and child_src when values don't match will raise an error. Just use frame_src.

config.secure_cookies removed

Use config.cookies instead.

Supported ruby versions

We've dropped support for ruby versions <= 2.2. Sorry.
