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
- Install the 'Security Kit' (seckit) Drupal module from drupal.org.
- Go to Admin → Configuration → Security → Security Kit.
- Enable Content Security Policy and fill in the directive fields (default-src, script-src, object-src, etc.).
- 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).
