Fix Recommendation

Navigate to and open:

/etc/applmgmt/appliance/lighttpd.conf

Locate the "setenv.add-response-header" parameter and add or update the following value:

"Content-Security-Policy" => "default-src 'self'; img-src 'self' data: https://vcsa.vmware.com; font-src 'self' data:; object-src 'none'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'",

Note: The last line in the parameter does not need a trailing comma.

Restart the service with the following command:

# vmon-cli --restart applmgmt

Check Contents

At the command prompt, run the following command:

# /opt/vmware/sbin/vami-lighttpd -p -f /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf 2>/dev/null|awk '/setenv\.add-response-header/,/\)/'|sed -e 's/^[ ]*//'|grep "Content-Security-Policy"

Expected result:

"Content-Security-Policy" => "default-src 'self'; img-src 'self' data: https://vcsa.vmware.com; font-src 'self' data:; object-src 'none'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'",

If the output does not match the expected result, this is a finding.

Note: The command must be run from a bash shell and not from a shell generated by the "appliance shell". Use the "chsh" command to change the shell for the account to "/bin/bash". Refer to KB Article 2100508 for more details:
