SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps protect web applications from common security vulnerabilities by analyzing and configuring essential HTTP security headers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Header Validation: Checks for the presence and correct configuration of critical security headers like CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.
  • Configuration Generation: Provides framework-specific code snippets (Express.js, Next.js, Nginx, Apache) to implement recommended security headers.
  • Use Case: A developer wants to ensure their new web application is protected against clickjacking and XSS attacks. They use this Skill to check their current headers and generate the necessary Nginx configuration to add them.

Quick Start

Use the security-headers skill to check the security headers for example.com.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure HTTP security headers like CSP and HSTS for my web app?

You can generate framework-specific code snippets for Nginx, Apache, Express.js, and Next.js to implement recommended security headers. This provides exact configurations to secure your web application against vulnerabilities like clickjacking and XSS.

What HTTP security headers are essential to protect against XSS and clickjacking?

Essential HTTP security headers include Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options. Implementing these headers mitigates web vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting and clickjacking attacks.

Can I generate Nginx and Express.js configurations for Strict-Transport-Security?

Yes, you can generate Nginx and Express.js configurations for Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS). The tool provides framework-specific code snippets to implement HSTS and other essential security headers across various web frameworks and server configurations.

How do I check if my current web application has the correct security headers?

You check web application security headers by validating their presence and correct configuration. This process analyzes critical headers like CSP and HSTS to ensure your application follows security best practices and mitigates vulnerabilities.

Does this work with both Next.js and Apache server configurations?

Yes, it works with both Next.js and Apache server configurations to implement security headers. It provides configuration generation across various web frameworks and servers to automate security best practices for your web applications.

Why does my Content Security Policy header fail to prevent cross-site scripting?

A Content Security Policy header fails to prevent cross-site scripting when incorrectly configured. Validating the presence and correct configuration of CSP ensures the header properly mitigates web vulnerabilities and secures your application.
