From ab8e5383fb6021afd690060c7b718dc505e7d30c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Heiser Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2024 08:52:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [mod] remove X-XSS-Protection headers MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Deprecated header not used by browsers nowadays[1]: """In modern browsers, X-XSS-Protection has been deprecated in favor of the Content-Security-Policy to disable the use of inline JavaScript. Its use can introduce XSS vulnerabilities in otherwise safe websites. This should not be used unless you need to support older web browsers that don’t yet support CSP. It is thus recommended to set the header as X-XSS-Protection: 0."""[2] [1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-XSS-Protection [2] https://infosec.mozilla.org/guidelines/web_security#x-xss-protection Closes: https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/3171 Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser --- docs/admin/settings/settings_server.rst | 1 - searx/settings.yml | 1 - tests/unit/settings/user_settings.yml | 1 - 3 files changed, 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/admin/settings/settings_server.rst b/docs/admin/settings/settings_server.rst index b1b3a14f7..daba6d1dd 100644 --- a/docs/admin/settings/settings_server.rst +++ b/docs/admin/settings/settings_server.rst @@ -16,7 +16,6 @@ image_proxy: false default_http_headers: X-Content-Type-Options : nosniff - X-XSS-Protection : 1; mode=block X-Download-Options : noopen X-Robots-Tag : noindex, nofollow Referrer-Policy : no-referrer diff --git a/searx/settings.yml b/searx/settings.yml index ebd6d5463..8dbd6bc71 100644 --- a/searx/settings.yml +++ b/searx/settings.yml @@ -88,7 +88,6 @@ server: method: "POST" default_http_headers: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff - X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block X-Download-Options: noopen X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow Referrer-Policy: no-referrer diff --git a/tests/unit/settings/user_settings.yml b/tests/unit/settings/user_settings.yml index fba8e6133..c4c4d74ef 100644 --- a/tests/unit/settings/user_settings.yml +++ b/tests/unit/settings/user_settings.yml @@ -19,7 +19,6 @@ server: method: "POST" default_http_headers: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff - X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block X-Download-Options: noopen X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow Referrer-Policy: no-referrer
