2025 Report: Destructive Malware in Open Source Packages
Destructive malware is rising across open source registries, using delays and kill switches to wipe code, break builds, and disrupt CI/CD.
csp-typed-directives
Advanced tools
Provides type information for all CSP directives and related headers' directives; as well as a basic utility funtion that helps convert the typed properties to the header content's policy string.
Provides type information for all CSP directives and related headers' directives; as well as a basic utility funtion that helps convert the typed properties to key/values of each header content's policy string.
Kept up to date with Mozilla's CSP documentation of available directives.
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save-dev csp-typed-directives
# Or shorthand
npm i -D csp-typed-directives
Either pass your CSP directives in at instatiation, or after.
const { CspDirectives } = require('csp-typed-directives')
// or ESM
import { CspDirectives } from 'csp-typed-directives';
const cspD = new CspDirectives({
'child-src': 'none',
})
cspD.CSP['connect-src'] = 'example.com'
cspD.CSP['navigate-to'] = ['example.com','example2.com']
csp.headers === {
'Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only': '',
'Content-Security-Policy':
"child-src 'none'; connect-src 'example.com'; navigate-to 'example.com' 'example2.com'",
'Report-To': '',
'Referrer-Policy': 'strict-origin-when-cross-origin',
}
The default configuration produces a referrer policy of strict-origin-when-cross-origin because that is the default, and is well suited to be explicitly stated.
const { CspDirectives } = require('csp-typed-directives')
// or ESM
import { CspDirectives } from 'csp-typed-directives';
const reportTo: ReportTo[] = [
{
max_age: 12000,
group: 'example-group-name',
endpoints: [{url:'https://example.com'}],
},
]
const whichToReport = {
'connect-src':'example.com'
}
const referrerPolicy = 'strict-origin'
const cspD = new CspDirectives(
{
'child-src': 'none',
'connect-src':'example.com',
'report-to': 'example-group-name'
},
reportTo,
whichToReport,
referrerPolicy
)
csp.headers === {
'Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only': "connect-src 'example.com';",
'Content-Security-Policy':
"child-src 'none'; connect-src 'example.com'; report-to 'example-group-name';",
'Report-To': '[{"max_age":12000,"group":"example-group-name","endpoints":[{"url":"https://example.com"}]}]',
'Referrer-Policy': 'strict-origin',
}
For reading up on the descriptions and implications of all directives see Mozilla's CSP documentation
This also provides a map of constants of every available directive name and the category(s) of souces/directives it can be assigned.
import { directiveNamesList } from 'csp-typed-directives';
const myDirectives = directiveNamesList
.reduce((acc,v) => {
// ! Warning: not all directives allow the full set of directive parameters
// Though as of 5/6/2021 they all support the 'none' directive, though would be kind of pointless to do this.
acc[v] = 'none'
},{})
import { DirectiveMap } from 'csp-typed-directives';
let myDirectives = DirectiveMap.get('report-to')
myDirectives === [
{
displayName: 'Any String',
consumes: {
'String': 'string',
},
compose: (args: {String:string}) => args.String,
},
]
myDirectives = DirectiveMap.get('require-sri-for')
myDirectives === [
'script', 'style', 'script style'
]
myDirectives = DirectiveMap.get('upgrade-insecure-requests')
myDirectives === [
true, false,
]
