--------------------------------

### Example External Nuxt Script

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/advanced/strict-csp

Shows a script element loaded from the application's origin, considered an 'external' resource by CSP.

```html
<!-- A script loaded from your origin, this is still an 'external' resource -->
<script src="/_nuxt/entry.065a09b.js" />
```

--------------------------------

### Apply Custom CSP Settings to All Routes

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/advanced/hooks

Modify the base `/**` route rules to apply custom Content Security Policy (CSP) settings, such as `connect-src`, to your entire application. This example fetches the `connect-src` value from an external API.

```typescript
export default defineNitroPlugin((nitroApp) => {
  nitroApp.hooks.hook('nuxt-security:routeRules', async(appSecurityOptions) => {
    const cspConnectSrc = await $fetch('https://secret-manager-api.com/api-route')
    // This example replaces only the connect-src CSP directive
    appSecurityOptions['/**'] = defuReplaceArray(
    {
      headers: {
        contentSecurityPolicy: {
          "connect-src": [cspConnectSrc]
        }
      }
    },
    appSecurityOptions['/**']
    )
  })
})
```

--------------------------------

### SSG CSP Meta Tag Example

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/headers/csp

This meta tag is automatically added to the `<head>` of static sites when CSP is enabled for SSG. It defines security policies for various content types.

```html
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="base-uri 'none'; font-src 'self' https: data:; form-action 'self'; img-src 'self' data:; object-src 'none'; script-src-attr 'none'; style-src 'self' https: 'unsafe-inline'; script-src 'self' https: 'unsafe-inline' 'strict-dynamic' 'sha256-{{hash}}'; upgrade-insecure-requests;">
```

--------------------------------

### Nuxt Config: CSP Level 2 with Nonce

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/advanced/strict-csp

Example Nuxt configuration using CSP Level 2 with a nonce for script-src. This allows inline scripts server-side but may block client-side hydration scripts unless external resources are also whitelisted by name.

```javascript
export defaultNuxtConfig({
  security: {
    headers: {
      contentSecurityPolicy: {
        "script-src": [
          "'nonce-{{nonce}}"",
          // nonce will allow inline scripts that are inserted server-side
          // But the application will block if client-side hydration tries to insert a script 
          "https:example.com"
          // example.com must still be whitelisted by name to support SSG
          // example.com must still be whitelisted by name to support hydration
        ]
      }
    }
  }
})
```

--------------------------------

### Route Merging Strategy with Nested Rules

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/getting-started/usage

Demonstrates how Nuxt Security recursively merges nested route rules to resolve security configurations. This example shows how global, prefix-based, and specific route rules for COEP interact.

```typescript
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // Global
  security: {
    headers: {
      crossOriginEmbedderPolicy: 'require-corp' // By default, COEP is 'require-corp'
    }
  }
  // Per route
  routeRules: {
    '/some-prefix/**': {
      security: {
        headers: {
          crossOriginEmbedderPolicy: false // COEP disabled on all routes beginning with /some-prefix/
        }
      }
    },
    '/some-prefix/some-route': {
      security: {
        headers: {
          crossOriginEmbedderPolicy: 'credentialless' // COEP is 'credentialless' on /some-prefix/some-route
        }
      }
    }
  }
})
```

--------------------------------

### Generate Nginx Headers with Nuxt Hook

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/advanced/hooks

Use the 'nuxt-security:prerenderedHeaders' hook to generate Nginx-compatible header rules and save them to a file. This example demonstrates iterating through prerendered headers and writing them to './.nuxt/server.headers'.

```typescript
import { writeFile } from 'node:fs/promises'
defineNuxtConfig({
  hooks: {
    'nuxt-security:prerenderedHeaders': async(prerenderedHeaders) => {
      // Don't take this snippet for granted, this is just provided as a basic example
      let nginxText = ''
      for (const path in prerenderedHeaders) {
        nginxText += 'location ' + path + ' {
'
        const headersForPath = prerenderedHeaders[path]
        for (const headerName in headersForPath) {
          const headerValue = headersForPath[headerName]
          nginxText += `  add_header ${headerName} "${headerValue}";\n`
        }
        nginxText += '}\n\n'
      }
      await writeFile('./.nuxt/server.headers', nginxText)
    }
  }
})
```

--------------------------------

### Nuxt Config for Strict CSP

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/advanced/strict-csp

Configure your Nuxt application's security headers to enable Strict CSP. This setup uses 'strict-dynamic' to allow scripts loaded by the root script.

```javascript
export defaultNuxtConfig({
  security: {
    headers: {
      contentSecurityPolicy: {
        "script-src": [
          "'nonce-{{nonce}}"",
          // The nonce allows the root script
          "'strict-dynamic'"
          // All scripts inserted by the root script will also be allowed
        ]
      }
    }
  }
})
```

--------------------------------

### Configure Nuxt Security Headers for CSP

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/advanced/strict-csp

Configure Nuxt Security headers to enforce Strict CSP, including whitelisting external scripts by nonce, hash, or fully-qualified name. This example shows configuration for both SSR and SSG.

```javascript
export defaultNuxtConfig({
  security: {
    nonce: true,
    ssg: {
      hashScripts: true // In the SSG case, inline scripts generated by the server will be allowed by hash
    },
    headers: {
      contentSecurityPolicy: {
        "script-src": [
          "'nonce-{{nonce}}"", // Nonce placeholders in the SSR case will allow inline scripts generated on the server
          "'self"", // Allow external scripts from self origin
          "sha384-....." // Whitelist your external scripts by integrity hash in the SSG case
          "https://domain.com/external-script.js", // Or by fully-qualified name, this is compatible with both SSR and SSG
          "https://trusted-domain.com" // Or by domain if you can fully trust the domain, will also be compatible with both SSR and SSG
        ]
      }
    }
  }
})

```

--------------------------------

### Nuxt Config: Not Strict CSP with 'unsafe-inline'

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/advanced/strict-csp

Configure Nuxt Security to allow 'unsafe-inline' scripts when a strict CSP is not feasible. This setup disables nonce and script hashing. Use this only as a last resort due to security implications.

```javascript
export defaultNuxtConfig({
  security: {
    nonce: false,
    ssg: {
      hashScripts: false // Disable hashes because they would cancel 'unsafe-inline'
    },
    headers: {
      contentSecurityPolicy: {
        "script-src": [
          "'unsafe-inline'", // Allow unsafe inline scripts: unsafe !
          //"'nonce-{{nonce}}"", // Disable nonce placeholders in the SSR case because they would cancel 'unsafe-inline'
          "https://domain.com/external-script.js", // Whitelist your external scripts by fully-qualified name
          "https://trusted-domain.com" // Or by domain if you can fully trust the domain
        ]
      }
    }
  }
})
```

Configure the Strict-Transport-Security header with maxAge, includeSubdomains, and preload options.

```typescript
strictTransportSecurity: {
  maxAge: number;
  includeSubdomains?: boolean;
  preload?: boolean;
} | false;
```

--------------------------------

### Include External Script with useHead (Before Nuxt 3.11)

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/headers/csp

Before Nuxt 3.11, external scripts can be included using `useHead`. Ensure the `mode: 'client'` option is set when in SSG mode.

```javascript
useHead({
  script: [
    {
      src: 'https://example.com/script.js',
    },
    {
      mode: 'client' // 'client' option is required in SSG mode
    }
  ]
})
```

--------------------------------

### Configure Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy Header

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/headers/crossoriginopenerpolicy

Configure the COOP header globally in `nuxt.config.ts` or on a per-route basis using `routeRules`. Replace `<OPTIONS>` with 'same-origin', 'same-origin-allow-popups', 'unsafe-none', or `false`.

```javascript
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // Global
  security: {
    headers: {
      crossOriginOpenerPolicy: <OPTIONS>,
    },
  },

  // Per route
  routeRules: {
    '/custom-route': {
      security: {
        headers: {
          crossOriginOpenerPolicy: <OPTIONS>,
        },
      },
    }
  }
})

]
```

--------------------------------

### SSR Strict CSP with Nonces

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/headers/csp

This configuration enables Strict CSP for SSR applications using nonces. Ensure `nonce: true` is set globally and include the `"'nonce-{{nonce}}'"` placeholder in your `script-src` directive.

```javascript
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // Global
  security: {
    nonce: true, // Enables HTML nonce support in SSR mode
    headers: {
      contentSecurityPolicy: {
        'script-src': [
          "'strict-dynamic'", // Modify with your custom CSP sources
          "'nonce-{{nonce}}'" // Enables CSP nonce support for scripts in SSR mode, supported by almost any browser (level 2)
        ]
      }
    },
  },

  // Per route
  routeRules: {
    '/custom-route': {
      security: {
        nonce: false,
        headers: {
          contentSecurityPolicy: {
            'script-src': "self 'unsafe-inline'"
          },
        },
      },
    }
  }
})
```

--------------------------------

### Allow Inline Scripts with 'unsafe-inline' (CSP Level 1)

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/advanced/strict-csp

Use 'unsafe-inline' as a last resort to allow all inline scripts when other methods fail. This is generally unsafe and not recommended.

```html
<script>console.log('Hello World')</script>
```

--------------------------------

### Available X-Frame-Options Values

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/headers/xframeoptions

The xFrameOptions header can be configured with 'DENY' to prevent framing entirely, 'SAMEORIGIN' to allow framing only by same-origin ancestors, or false to disable the header.

```javascript
xFrameOptions: 'DENY' | 'SAMEORIGIN' | false;
```

--------------------------------

### Default X-Download-Options Value

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/headers/xdownloadoptions

By default, Nuxt Security sets the X-Download-Options header to 'noopen'.

```http
X-Download-Options: noopen
```

--------------------------------

### Create a Client-Side Nuxt Plugin for Scripts

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/advanced/strict-csp

Wrap external scripts in a client-side Nuxt plugin using the 'unhead' composable. This makes the script available globally via useNuxtApp.

```javascript
import { useScript } from 'unhead';

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  const { $script } = useScript(
    {
      src: 'https://example.com/script.js',
      async: true,
      defer: true,
    }
  )

  return {
    provide: {
      script: $script
    },
  }
})
```

```javascript
const { $script } = useNuxtApp()

```

--------------------------------

### Using useCsrfFetch and useCsrf Composables

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/middleware/csrf

Utilize the auto-imported `useCsrfFetch` composable to automatically add CSRF tokens to headers when making requests. Access the CSRF token value directly using the `useCsrf` composable.

```javascript
// Wrapper around `useFetch` that automatically adds CSRF token in headers
const { data, pending, error, refresh } = useCsrfFetch('/api/login', { query: 'value1' })

// Have access to the CSRF token value
const { csrf } = useCsrf()
```

--------------------------------

### Configure Cloudflare with Nuxt Security

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/advanced/faq

  ]
}, { mode: 'client' })

```

```typescript
defineNuxtConfig({
  security: {
    headers: {
      crossOriginEmbedderPolicy: 'unsafe-none',
      contentSecurityPolicy: {
        'img-src': ["'self'", 'data:'],
        'script-src': [
          "'self'",
          'https:',
          "'unsafe-inline'",
          "'strict-dynamic'",
          "'nonce-{{nonce}}'",

          "https:", // For increased security, replace by the specific hosting domain or file name of your external stylesheets
          "'unsafe-inline'" // Recommended default for most Nuxt apps
        ],
        'base-uri': ["'none'"],
        'img-src': ["'self'", "data:"], // Add relevant https://... sources if you load images from external sources 
        'font-src': ["'self'", "https:", "data:"], //  For increased security, replace by the specific sources for fonts
        'object-src': ["'none'"],
        'script-src-attr': ["'none'"],
        'upgrade-insecure-requests': true
      }
    },
    sri: true
  }
})
```

--------------------------------

### Configure CSP Header Globally or Per Route

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/headers/csp

```javascript
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // Global
  security: {
    headers: {
      contentSecurityPolicy: <OPTIONS>,
    },
  },

  // Per route
  routeRules: {
    '/custom-route': {
      security: {
        headers: {
          contentSecurityPolicy: <OPTIONS>,
        },
      },
    }
  }
})
```

--------------------------------

### Middleware for External Navigation

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/advanced/faq

Create a Nuxt middleware to redirect specific routes to external URLs, useful for handling external links.

```javascript
// middleware/external-navigation.ts

export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware((to) => {
  const routesForExternalLinks = ['/example']
  // Add any other routes you want to act as external links

  if (
    import.meta.client &&
    !useNuxtApp().isHydrating &&
    to.path &&
    routesForExternalLinks.includes(to.path)
  ) {
    window.location.href = to.fullPath
  }
})


```

--------------------------------

### Configure Nuxt Security Module

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/getting-started/installation

Add the security section to your nuxt.config.js file to customize module options. Refer to the documentation for available security configurations.

```javascript
security: {
  // Options
}

```

--------------------------------

### Merging Security Rules with Addition using defu

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/getting-started/usage

Add new values to existing security settings, such as CSP directives, for a route by using the standard defu utility in a Nitro plugin. Ensure defu is imported.

```typescript
// You will need to import defu
import { defu } from 'defu'
export default defineNitroPlugin((nitroApp) => {
  nitroApp.hooks.hook('nuxt-security:routeRules', async(routeRules) => {
    routeRules['/some/route'] = defu(
      {
        headers: {
          contentSecurityPolicy: {
            "script-src": ["'self'", "..."]
            // The values "'self' ..." will be added to the existing values
          }
        }
      },
      routeRules['/some/route'] // The other existing rules for /some/route will be preserved
    )
  })
})


```

--------------------------------

### Allow Inline Scripts with Hashes (CSP Level 2)

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/advanced/strict-csp

Hashes allow specific inline scripts by providing a SHA hash of the script's content in the CSP header. The browser computes the hash of the inline script and compares it to the provided hash.

### Enable Basic Auth Globally

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/middleware/basic-auth

Enable the Basic Auth middleware globally in your Nuxt application by configuring it within the `nuxt.config.ts` file. This ensures all incoming traffic is subject to authentication.

```typescript
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  security: {
    basicAuth: {
      // options
    }
  }
})
```

### Configure Strict Permissions Policy

Source: https://nuxt-security.vercel.app/advanced/improve-security

Define the Permissions Policy in strict mode by specifying allowed features. Review your application's needs and uncomment/configure directives as necessary. Some features are experimental and may not be widely implemented.

```typescript
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  security: {
    headers: {
      permissionsPolicy: {
        accelerometer: [],
        //'ambient-light-sensor':[],
        autoplay:[],
        //battery:[],
        camera:[],
        'display-capture':[],
        //'document-domain':[],
        'encrypted-media':[],
        fullscreen:[],
        //gamepad:[],
        geolocation:[],
        gyroscope:[],
        //'layout-animations':['self'],
        //'legacy-image-formats':['self'],
        magnetometer:[],
        microphone:[],
        midi:[],
        //'oversized-images':['self'],
        payment:[],
        'picture-in-picture':[],
        'publickey-credentials-get':[],
        'screen-wake-lock':[],
        //'speaker-selection':[],
        'sync-xhr':['self'],
        //'unoptimized-images':['self'],
        //'unsized-media':['self'],
        usb:[],
        'web-share':[],
        'xr-spatial-tracking':[]
      }
    }
  }
})
