The visual content "Content Security Policy (CSP)" covers several topics related to the tremendous technological development that the world is witnessing and the exposure of web pages to penetration, theft, manipulation, and exploitation by cyber attackers. This has prompted companies to adopt a series of advanced technical mechanisms to reduce cyber attacks that have become a part of the lives of Internet surfers, who conduct their daily transactions of conversations, business, correspondence, and so on.
One of the technical mechanisms that has been adopted is what is known as the Content Security Policy (CSP), which is a browser security mechanism aimed at mitigating electronic attacks such as XSS attacks. It works by restricting materials spread on the Internet, such as text and images, that are easy to download, as well as restricting the possibility of penetration and stealing them. XSS attacks, or cross-site scripting, target text materials and images. It is a web security vulnerability that allows a cyber attacker to penetrate users by exploiting vulnerabilities in applications and software.
It pointed out that XSS attacks allow cyber hackers to circumvent and disguise themselves as victim users and implement the same procedures that a regular user might follow to access the data of targeted victims. For example, if the original user can access the applications, the hacker can fully control all the data and functions of those applications. Then the importance of a content security policy becomes apparent in protecting text materials and images from this type of cyber attack.
