csp-toolkit 0.3.0

Parse, analyze, generate, and find bypasses in Content Security Policy headers

csp-toolkit

Parse, analyze, generate, and find bypasses in Content Security Policy headers.

A Python library and CLI tool for security researchers and bug bounty hunters. Auto-generate CSPs by crawling a website, analyze policies with 21 weakness checks, find bypasses against a database of 79 domains (66 JSONP + 13 CDNs), score policies A+ to F, diff policies, detect nonce reuse, and more.

Install

pip install -e .
# or with uv
uv pip install -e .

CLI Commands

analyze — Check a CSP for weaknesses

# From a string
csp-toolkit analyze "script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' *.googleapis.com"

# From a file or stdin
csp-toolkit analyze -f policy.txt
curl -sI https://example.com | grep -i content-security-policy | cut -d: -f2- | csp-toolkit analyze -f -

# Output formats: table (default), detail, json
csp-toolkit analyze -o json "script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'"

# Analyze a Report-Only header
csp-toolkit analyze --report-only "default-src 'self'"

Outputs a severity-sorted findings table and an A+ to F grade with numeric score (0-100).

bypass — Find CSP bypass vectors

csp-toolkit bypass "script-src 'self' *.googleapis.com cdnjs.cloudflare.com"
csp-toolkit bypass -f policy.txt
csp-toolkit bypass -o json "script-src 'self' data: cdnjs.cloudflare.com"

# Probe JSONP endpoints to verify they're live
csp-toolkit bypass --check-live "script-src 'self' *.googleapis.com"

Checks whitelisted domains against known:

• JSONP endpoints — 66 domains with concrete callback URLs
• CDN script gadgets — AngularJS, Vue.js, Knockout, Lodash, Handlebars, Dojo, Mithril, jQuery, Ember, and more
• Arbitrary hosting platforms — raw.githubusercontent.com, unpkg.com, codepen.io, vercel.app, netlify.app, etc.
• Scheme abuse — data: and blob: payloads
• Missing directive exploitation — base-uri injection, form-action hijacking

fetch — Fetch and analyze live URLs

# Fetch CSP headers and meta tags
csp-toolkit fetch https://example.com

# Fetch + analyze + find bypasses
csp-toolkit fetch https://example.com --all

# Multiple URLs
csp-toolkit fetch https://example.com https://github.com --all

# Probe JSONP endpoints live
csp-toolkit fetch https://example.com --all --check-live

# Skip SSL verification
csp-toolkit fetch https://example.com --all --no-verify-ssl

scan — Batch scan and rank targets

# Scan multiple URLs, ranked weakest-first
csp-toolkit scan https://google.com https://github.com https://facebook.com

# From a file of URLs
csp-toolkit scan -f targets.txt

# Export as CSV or JSON
csp-toolkit scan -f targets.txt -o csv > results.csv
csp-toolkit scan -f targets.txt -o json

diff — Compare two CSP policies

# Compare two CSP strings
csp-toolkit diff "script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'" "script-src 'self' 'nonce-abc' 'strict-dynamic'"

# Compare two live URLs
csp-toolkit diff https://example.com https://staging.example.com

# JSON output
csp-toolkit diff -o json "old csp" "new csp"

Shows score delta, added/removed/modified directives, and warns when changes weaken the policy.

subdomains — Find weak subdomains

# Check ~35 common subdomains
csp-toolkit subdomains example.com

# Custom prefixes
csp-toolkit subdomains example.com -p "www,api,staging,admin,internal"

# Export
csp-toolkit subdomains example.com -o json

monitor — Track CSP evolution over time

# Take snapshots and alert on changes
csp-toolkit monitor https://facebook.com https://github.com

# From a file of URLs (run via cron)
csp-toolkit monitor -f targets.txt

# View snapshot history
csp-toolkit history https://facebook.com

Stores snapshots in ~/.csp-toolkit/snapshots/. Alerts when policies are weakened, strengthened, or removed.

nonce-check — Detect static nonce reuse

csp-toolkit nonce-check https://target.com
csp-toolkit nonce-check https://target.com -n 10  # 10 requests

Fetches the URL multiple times and checks if the CSP nonce changes. A static nonce completely defeats nonce-based CSP protection.

header-inject — Test for CSP header injection

csp-toolkit header-inject https://target.com

Tests CRLF injection vectors that could allow an attacker to inject or override CSP headers.

report-uri — Analyze reporting endpoints

csp-toolkit report-uri --url https://target.com
csp-toolkit report-uri "script-src 'self'; report-uri https://example.com/csp"

Checks if the report-uri / report-to endpoint is reachable and accepts CSP violation reports.

auto — Auto-generate a CSP from a live website

# Crawl a page and generate a CSP based on its resources
csp-toolkit auto https://example.com

# Output as nginx or apache directive
csp-toolkit auto https://example.com -o nginx
csp-toolkit auto https://example.com -o apache

# Crawl deeper (follow same-origin links)
csp-toolkit auto https://example.com --depth 1

# Auto-generate nonces for inline scripts/styles (shows which tags need nonce="...")
csp-toolkit auto https://example.com --auto-nonce

# Use SHA-256 hashes for inline content (most secure, no HTML changes needed)
csp-toolkit auto https://example.com --hash

# Use a specific nonce value
csp-toolkit auto https://example.com --nonce my-server-nonce

# Analyze the generated CSP for weaknesses
csp-toolkit auto https://example.com --analyze

# JSON output with all discovered resources, hashes, and nonces
csp-toolkit auto https://example.com -o json

Discovers all external resources (scripts, styles, images, fonts, frames, forms, media) and generates a tailored CSP that whitelists exactly the origins the site needs.

Three modes for handling inline scripts/styles:

Flag	Security	How it works
--hash	Highest	Computes SHA-256 of each inline block — browser verifies content matches
--auto-nonce	High	Generates a nonce, tells you which tags need nonce="..." added
--nonce VALUE	High	Same as auto-nonce but you provide the value
(default)	Low	Uses unsafe-inline with a warning

generate — Generate a CSP from a preset

# Strict (nonce-based, recommended)
csp-toolkit generate --preset strict
csp-toolkit generate --preset strict --nonce my-random-nonce

# Moderate or permissive
csp-toolkit generate --preset moderate
csp-toolkit generate --preset permissive

# Add custom sources
csp-toolkit generate --preset moderate --add-source "script-src cdn.example.com"

# Output formats: header (default), meta, nginx, apache
csp-toolkit generate --preset strict -o nginx
csp-toolkit generate --preset strict -o apache
csp-toolkit generate --preset strict -o meta

Library Usage

import csp_toolkit

# Parse
policy = csp_toolkit.parse("script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' *.googleapis.com")

# Analyze + score
findings = csp_toolkit.analyze(policy)
grade, score = csp_toolkit.score_policy(policy)
print(f"{grade} ({score}/100), {len(findings)} findings")

# Find bypasses
bypasses = csp_toolkit.find_bypasses(policy)
for b in bypasses:
    print(b)  # [HIGH] JSONP bypass via maps.googleapis.com (in script-src)

# Diff two policies
diff = csp_toolkit.diff_headers(old_csp, new_csp)
print(diff.weakened)       # Directives that got weaker
print(diff.strengthened)   # Directives that got stronger

# Scan multiple URLs
results = csp_toolkit.scan_urls(["https://example.com", "https://github.com"])
for r in results:
    print(f"{r.url}: {r.grade} ({r.score})")

# Check subdomains
results = csp_toolkit.check_subdomains("example.com")

# Track evolution
snapshot, alert = csp_toolkit.take_snapshot("https://example.com")
if alert and alert.alert_type == "weakened":
    print(f"CSP weakened! {alert.score_delta}")

# Detect nonce reuse
result = csp_toolkit.detect_nonce_reuse("https://example.com")
if result and result.is_static:
    print(f"Static nonce: {result.nonces_found[0]}")

# Check header injection
result = csp_toolkit.check_header_injection("https://example.com")

# Analyze report-uri
result = csp_toolkit.analyze_report_uri(policy)

# Look up specific domains
csp_toolkit.check_domain_jsonp("accounts.google.com")
csp_toolkit.check_domain_gadgets("cdnjs.cloudflare.com")

# Generate
csp = csp_toolkit.CSPBuilder.strict(nonce="abc123").build()

# Fetch live
result = csp_toolkit.fetch_csp("https://example.com")

Browser Extension

A Chrome extension that shows a CSP grade badge on every page you visit.

1. Open chrome://extensions/
2. Enable "Developer mode"
3. Click "Load unpacked" and select the browser-extension/ directory

The badge shows the CSP grade (A+ to F) with color coding. Click it to see the full findings list, score, and raw CSP header. All analysis runs locally — no network requests.
