## Description

**Content Security Policy Manager** is a WordPress plugin that allows you to easily
configure [Content Security Policy headers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP)
for your site. You can have different CSP headers for the admin interface, the frontend
for logged in users, and the frontend for regular visitors. The CSP directives can
be individually enabled, and each policy can be set to enforce, report or be disabled.

Please note that this plugin offers limited help in figuring out what the contents
of the policy should be. It only lets you configure the CSP in a easy to use interface.

## FAQ

### What is a Content Security Policy?

To quote MDN:

> Content Security Policy (CSP) is an added layer of security that helps to detect
> and mitigate certain types of attacks, including Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and
> data injection attacks. These attacks are used for everything from data theft 
> to site defacement to distribution of malware.
> To enable CSP, you need to configure your web server to return the Content-Security-
> Policy HTTP header.

### How do I enable reporting?

Reporting can be enabled by setting the report-uri and/or report-to directives. 
You will need the URL to a server that can handle these kinds of reports, which 
there are several of. [Report URI](https://report-uri.com/) is one example of such
a service, they have a free tier that allows up to 10 000 reports per month (any
more than that is just ignored, no extra cost). They also have a CSP wizard that
can help you construct your policy.

Reporting can be enabled both in report only mode and in enforce mode. You can use
report-only mode to evaluate the contents of the policy by looking at which resources
are reported as blocked.

### 󠀁[Report To not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/report-to-not-working/)󠁿

 [ningmorris](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ningmorris/) July 13, 2023

Hello, Since report-uri is no longer recommended anymore, I need to use report-to
to send CSP reports. But for reason, it doesn’t send reports with report-to. My 
CSP settings are as follows: In Policy: report-to filed, I filled in csp-endpoint,
in Frontend Policy Report-To Header field, I filled in the following JSON data {“
group”: “csp-endpoint”, “max_age”: 10886400, “endpoints”: [ { “url”: “{CSP REPORT
ENDPOINT}” } ] } After saving changes in the CMS, all the commas disappeared in 
Frontend Policy Report-To Header field. { “group”: “csp-endpoint” “max_age”: 10886400“
endpoints”: [ { “url”: “{CSP REPORT ENDPOINT}” } ] } I am wondering if you can help
to take a look at it, thanks! Note: I have no problem with report-uri.

As soon as I leave the backend the view of my side is without any CSS. Only the 
plain HTML.

We are really happy with this plugin.im wondering if you provide a filter so i can
merge some dynamic ‘nonce-xx’ to the policy header. this could be very very useful.

 [Jason Robinson](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jsrobinson/) April 10, 2022

This plugin is well thought out and does what I need it to. It has also helped me
troubleshoot other website’s CSP that wasn’t working correctly, and the documentation
is solid if brief.
