Affected packages
• npm @grackle-ai/server: < 0.70.4 → fixed in 0.70.4
Description
Impact
The HTTP server does not set `Content-Security-Policy`, `X-Frame-Options`, or `X-Content-Type-Options` headers on any response. This reduces defense-in-depth against XSS, clickjacking, and MIME-sniffing attacks.
While the current XSS attack surface is small (React-markdown is configured safely, no `dangerouslySetInnerHTML`, Vite does not generate source maps), the absence of these headers means any future XSS vulnerability would have no secondary defense layer.
Affected code:
• `packages/server/src/index.ts` — all `res.writeHead()` calls only set `Content-Type`, with no security headers
Patches
0.70.4
Fix: Add security headers to all HTML/API responses:
```typescript
res.writeHead(200, {
"Content-Type": contentType,
"Content-Security-Policy": "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; img-src 'self' data:",
"X-Frame-Options": "DENY",
"X-Content-Type-Options": "nosniff"
});
```
Workarounds
Use a reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy) in front of the Grackle server to inject security headers.
