V3.4 Browser Security Mechanism Headers

This section describes which security headers should be set on HTTP responses to enable browser security features and restrictions when handling responses from the application.

1. Přehled

Název	Standard
V3.4.1 Verify that a Strict-Transport-Security header field is included on all responses to enforce an …	Verify that a Strict-Transport-Security header field is included on all responses to enforce an HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) policy. A maximum age of at least 1 year must be defined, and for L2 and up, the policy must apply to all subdomains as well.
V3.4.2 Verify that the Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) Access-Control-Allow-Origin header field is a …	Verify that the Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) Access-Control-Allow-Origin header field is a fixed value by the application, or if the Origin HTTP request header field value is used, it is validated against an allowlist of trusted origins. When 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *' needs to be used, verify that the response does not include any sensitive information.
V3.4.3 Verify that HTTP responses include a Content-Security-Policy response header field which defines …	Verify that HTTP responses include a Content-Security-Policy response header field which defines directives to ensure the browser only loads and executes trusted content or resources, in order to limit execution of malicious JavaScript. As a minimum, a global policy must be used which includes the directives object-src 'none' and base-uri 'none' and defines either an allowlist or uses nonces or hashes. For an L3 application, a per-response policy with nonces or hashes must be defined.
V3.4.4 Verify that all HTTP responses contain an 'X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff' header field. This …	Verify that all HTTP responses contain an 'X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff' header field. This instructs browsers not to use content sniffing and MIME type guessing for the given response, and to require the response's Content-Type header field value to match the destination resource. For example, the response to a request for a style is only accepted if the response's Content-Type is 'text/css'. This also enables the use of the Cross-Origin Read Blocking (CORB) functionality by the browser.
V3.4.5 Verify that the application sets a referrer policy to prevent leakage of technically sensitive data …	Verify that the application sets a referrer policy to prevent leakage of technically sensitive data to third-party services via the 'Referer' HTTP request header field. This can be done using the Referrer-Policy HTTP response header field or via HTML element attributes. Sensitive data could include path and query data in the URL, and for internal non-public applications also the hostname.
V3.4.6 Verify that the web application uses the frame-ancestors directive of the Content-Security-Policy …	Verify that the web application uses the frame-ancestors directive of the Content-Security-Policy header field for every HTTP response to ensure that it cannot be embedded by default and that embedding of specific resources is allowed only when necessary. Note that the X-Frame-Options header field, although supported by browsers, is obsolete and may not be relied upon.
V3.4.7 Verify that the Content-Security-Policy header field specifies a location to report violations.	Verify that the Content-Security-Policy header field specifies a location to report violations.
V3.4.8 Verify that all HTTP responses that initiate a document rendering (such as responses with …	Verify that all HTTP responses that initiate a document rendering (such as responses with Content-Type text/html), include the Cross‑Origin‑Opener‑Policy header field with the same-origin directive or the same-origin-allow-popups directive as required. This prevents attacks that abuse shared access to Window objects, such as tabnabbing and frame counting.
