security

Hello,

In this post I will share how we can protect our site if we use nginx for a web server.

Led by Scott Helme for CSP, I started to test the CSP header of root.bg. I used his securityheaders.com tool and finally achieved the desired result – A + 🙂

 

nginx content security policy header

In the virtual host of our site we add the following lines after location /

add_header Content-Security-Policy "block-all-mixed-content; frame-ancestors 'self' root.bg cdn.root.bg s.root.bg go.root.bg git.root.bg fonts.gstatic.com;"; 
add_header Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only "default-src https: data: 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'; report-uri https://rootbg.report-uri.com/r/d/csp/reportOnly";

report-uri.com

I made a report on the site report-uri.com and so I started collecting information from my webserver for XSS attacks, web server configuration errors, monitoring and everything else related to the new web standards.

I personally have a bit of luck with the addition of redundant header, but almost all of them are for protection 🙂
