How to fix missing content security policy on Drupal

Add a Content-Security-Policy (CSP) HTTP response header to every page to block unauthorized scripts, styles, and resources from loading in your visitors' browsers.

Steps for Drupal

  1. Install the 'Security Kit' (seckit) Drupal module from drupal.org.
  2. Go to Admin → Configuration → Security → Security Kit.
  3. Enable Content Security Policy and fill in the directive fields (default-src, script-src, object-src, etc.).
  4. Enable 'Report Only' mode first, review Drupal's watchdog logs for violations, then switch to enforce mode.

What is missing content security policy?

A Content Security Policy (CSP) is an instruction you send to your visitors' web browsers, embedded in a special HTTP header, that tells the browser exactly which sources of scripts, images, styles, fonts, and other content it is allowed to load on your site. Think of it as a strict guest list at a nightclub door: anything not on the list gets turned away. Without a CSP header, the browser will happily load resources from anywhere — including malicious scripts injected by attackers. Your site currently sends no CSP header at all, which means that protection layer is completely absent.

Without a CSP, your store is significantly more vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks — one of the most common ways attackers steal customer data, hijack sessions, or install payment-skimming code (like Magecart) directly in your shoppers' browsers. A successful XSS attack can expose customers' credit card numbers, passwords, and personal information, leading to chargebacks, fines under GDPR/CCPA, PCI-DSS violations, and severe reputational damage. Google also considers site security as a ranking signal, so a visibly compromised site can lose organic search rankings fast. Adding a CSP is recognized by OWASP as a critical defense-in-depth control against injection attacks (A03:2021).
