Content-Security-Policy header present

A Content-Security-Policy header is the primary defense against cross-site scripting (XSS) and data injection, restricting which sources scripts, styles and frames may load from. Most government sites ship without one.

In short

No Content-Security-Policy header — the page lacks the primary defense against XSS. This check is fully automated — the scanner returns a definitive pass or fail.

How to fix it

Add a Content-Security-Policy response header. Tune it first with Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only, then enforce a restrictive policy (e.g. default-src 'self').
