Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Add-on Validation, defect)

Description

[Kris Maglione [:kmag]]

There are a number of add-ons which have been attempting to change HTTP security headers in unsafe ways. We should warn whenever an add-on attempts to set the values of any of the following response headers:

Access-Control-Allow-Credentials
Access-Control-Allow-Headers
Access-Control-Allow-Methods
Access-Control-Allow-Origin
Access-Control-Expose-Headers
Access-Control-Max-Age
(Possibly just Access-Control-*)
Content-Security-Policy
Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only
Strict-Transport-Security
X-Content-Security-Policy
X-Frame-Options

And probably the following request headers as well:

Access-Control-Request-Headers
Access-Control-Request-Method
Origin
