Use Content Security Policy
Content Security Policy (CSP) is a security mechanism that helps prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by restricting the types of content that can be loaded on a web page. By setting a CSP header, you can specify which sources of content are allowed to be loaded on your Laravel application.
To enable CSP in your Laravel application, add a Content-Security-Policy header to your web server configuration or use a Laravel middleware to set the header. Here’s an example middleware that sets a basic CSP header:
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
class ContentSecurityPolicy
{
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
$response = $next($request);
$csp = "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';";
$response->header('Content-Security-Policy', $csp);
return $response;
}
}
Add the ContentSecurityPolicy middleware to the $middleware array in app/Http/Kernel.php:
protected $middleware = [
// ...
\App\Http\Middleware\ContentSecurityPolicy::class,
];
