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', and 'none' 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 string with a full or relative URI. 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

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.
