CSP Evaluator

Analyze Content-Security-Policy headers and secure your website against XSS and injection attacks. Identify loose directives and wildcards.

Policy Strength Audit

What is Content Security Policy?

Content Security Policy (CSP) is an added layer of security that helps 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 or distribution of malware.

  • XSS Prevention: Prevents unauthorized scripts from executing on your page.
  • Exfiltration Control: Limits where data can be sent from the browser.
  • Framing Protection: Prevents clickjacking by controlling which sites can embed yours.

Why CSP Hardening Matters

Modern web applications rely heavily on external scripts, styles, and assets. Without a robust CSP, your site is vulnerable to supply-chain attacks where a compromised third-party library could inject malicious code directly into your users' browsers.

A well-implemented CSP is one of the most effective technical controls against XSS, which remains a top priority in the OWASP Top 10 security risks.
Active Defense
CSP acts as a boundary that prevents malicious code from running even if an attacker finds an injection point.
Safe Sourcing
Whitelisting trusted domains ensures your users only download assets from origins you have manually approved.

Best Practices for CSP

Follow these security standards to ensure your policy is both restrictive and functional:

  • Avoid Wildcards: Never use * in directives like script-src as it allows any origin to execute code.
  • Restrict Unsafe Methods: Remove 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' to prevent classical XSS patterns.
  • Use Nonces: For necessary inline scripts, use cryptographic nonces to whitelist them individually.
  • Default Deny: Set default-src 'self' to block everything by default, then add specific exceptions.

How to Use This Tool

Enter your URL and click "Analyze CSP". We retrieve your site's security headers and break down every directive. Our auditor identifies "risky" configurations like wildcards or unsafe flags and provides a security strength score. Use this report to iterate on your policy until you reach a robust 'Secure' status.


Frequently Asked Questions

CSP is a security layer that helps detect and mitigate certain types of attacks, including Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and data injection attacks.
By restricting the sources of executable scripts, CSP prevents the browser from loading malicious scripts injected by attackers.
A cryptographic nonce (number used once) allows you to whitelist specific inline scripts without allowing all inline scripts (which would be insecure).
Yes. It allows any script to run on your page, effectively bypassing the primary protection CSP offers against XSS.
You can implement CSP by adding a
