Answer first
What the issue means
Without CSP, injected scripts and compromised dependencies have a larger execution surface than they need.
Detail 01
Exact fix
Start with default-src 'self', object-src 'none', base-uri 'self', frame-ancestors, and a script-src strategy based on nonces or hashes.
Detail 02
Verify
Inspect the response headers, run in report-only mode if the site is complex, fix violations, and re-scan once the enforcing header is live.
FAQ
Common questions
- Is CSP required for SEO?
- No direct ranking rule requires CSP, but it is a core production security signal and part of the launch-readiness score.
- Can I use unsafe-inline?
- It works as a compatibility shortcut but weakens script protection. Prefer nonces or hashes when the framework and runtime support them.
