CSP: script-src-elem

The HTTP Content-Security-Policy (CSP) script-src-elem directive specifies valid sources for JavaScript <script> elements.

This directive only specifies valid sources in <script> elements (both script requests and blocks). It does not apply to other JavaScript sources that can trigger script execution, such as inline script event handlers (onclick), script execution methods gated on the "unsafe-eval" check, and XSLT stylesheets. (Valid sources can be specified for all JavaScript script sources using script-src, or just for inline script handlers using script-src-attr.)

CSP version 3
Directive type Fetch directive
default-src fallback Yes. If this directive is absent, the user agent will look for the script-src directive, and if both of them are absent, fall back to default-src directive.

Syntax

http
Content-Security-Policy: script-src-elem 'none';
Content-Security-Policy: script-src-elem <source-expression-list>;

This directive may have one of the following values:

'none'

No resources of this type may be loaded. The single quotes are mandatory.

<source-expression-list>

A space-separated list of source expression values. Resources of this type may be loaded if they match any of the given source expressions.

Source expressions are specified as keyword values or URL patterns: the syntax for each source expression is given in CSP Source Values.

script-src-elem can be used in conjunction with script-src:

http
Content-Security-Policy: script-src <source>;
Content-Security-Policy: script-src-elem <source>;
