Configuring django-csp

Content-Security-Policy is a complicated header. There are many values you may need to tweak here.

Note

Note when a setting requires a tuple or list. Since Python strings are iterable, you may get very strange policies and errors.

It’s worth reading the latest CSP spec and making sure you understand it before configuring django-csp.

Policy Settings

These settings affect the policy in the header. The defaults are in italics.

Note

The “special” source values of 'self', 'unsafe-inline', 'unsafe-eval', 'none' and hash-source ('sha256-...') must be quoted! e.g.: CSP_DEFAULT_SRC = ("'self'",). Without quotes they will not work as intended.

CSP_DEFAULT_SRC

Set the default-src directive. A tuple or list of values, e.g. ("'self'", 'cdn.example.net'). ‘self’

CSP_SCRIPT_SRC

Set the script-src directive. A tuple or list. None

CSP_IMG_SRC

Set the img-src directive. A tuple or list. None

CSP_OBJECT_SRC

Set the object-src directive. A tuple or list. None

CSP_MEDIA_SRC

Set the media-src directive. A tuple or list. None

CSP_FRAME_SRC

Set the frame-src directive. A tuple or list. None

CSP_FONT_SRC

Set the font-src directive. A tuple or list. None

CSP_CONNECT_SRC

Set the connect-src directive. A tuple or list. None

CSP_STYLE_SRC

Set the style-src directive. A tuple or list. None

CSP_BASE_URI

Set the base-uri directive. A tuple or list. None Note: This doesn’t use default-src as a fall-back.

CSP_CHILD_SRC

Set the child-src directive. A tuple or list. None Note: Deprecated in CSP v3. Use frame-src and worker-src instead.

CSP_FRAME_ANCESTORS

Set the FRAME_ANCESTORS directive. A tuple or list. None Note: This doesn’t use default-src as a fall-back.

CSP_FORM_ACTION

Set the FORM_ACTION directive. A tuple or list. None Note: This doesn’t use default-src as a fall-back.

CSP_SANDBOX

Set the sandbox directive. A tuple or list. None Note: This doesn’t use default-src as a fall-back.

CSP_REPORT_URI

Set the report-uri directive. A tuple or list. Each URI can be a full or relative URI. None Note: This doesn’t use default-src as a fall-back.

CSP_MANIFEST_SRC

Set the manifest-src directive. A tuple or list. None

CSP_WORKER_SRC

Set the worker-src directive. A tuple or list. None

CSP_PLUGIN_TYPES

Set the plugin-types directive. A tuple or list. None Note: This doesn’t use default-src as a fall-back.

CSP_REQUIRE_SRI_FOR

Set the require-sri-for directive. A tuple or list. None Valid values: script, style, or both. See: require-sri-for-known-tokens Note: This doesn’t use default-src as a fall-back.

CSP_UPGRADE_INSECURE_REQUESTS

Include upgrade-insecure-requests directive. A boolean. False See: upgrade-insecure-requests

CSP_BLOCK_ALL_MIXED_CONTENT

Include block-all-mixed-content directive. A boolean. False See: block-all-mixed-content

CSP_INCLUDE_NONCE_IN

Include dynamically generated nonce in all listed directives, e.g. CSP_INCLUDE_NONCE_IN=['script-src'] will add 'nonce-<b64-value>' to the script-src directive. A tuple or list. None

Changing the Policy

The policy can be changed on a per-view (or even per-request) basis. See the decorator documentation for more details.

Other Settings

These settings control the behavior of django-csp. Defaults are in italics.

CSP_REPORT_ONLY

Send “report-only” headers instead of real headers. See the spec and the chapter on reports for more info. A boolean. False

CSP_EXCLUDE_URL_PREFIXES

A tuple of URL prefixes. URLs beginning with any of these will not get the CSP headers. ()

Warning

Excluding any path on your site will eliminate the benefits of CSP everywhere on your site. The typical browser security model for JavaScript considers all paths alike. A Cross-Site Scripting flaw on, e.g., excluded-page/ can therefore be leveraged to access everything on the same origin.
