What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps implement robust security headers and a Content Security Policy (CSP) for web applications, preventing common attacks like XSS and clickjacking, with a safe, phased rollout strategy.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Security Headers: Automatically adds essential headers like
X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Strict-Transport-Security.
- Content Security Policy (CSP): Configures a CSP to control which resources (scripts, styles, images, etc.) are allowed to load, significantly reducing the attack surface.
- Safe Rollout: Implements CSP first in
report-only mode to catch violations without breaking the site, followed by a gradual enforcement rollout.
- Use Case: A developer needs to harden their Express.js application against cross-site scripting (XSS) and other injection attacks. They can use this Skill to generate and apply a comprehensive set of security headers and a well-defined CSP.
Quick Start
