Header always set Content-Security-Policy "upgrade-insecure-requests; default-src https: data: 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'"
Header always set X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"
Header always set X-Frame-Options "deny"
Header always set X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block"

Public-Key-Pins and Referrer-Policy

Public-Key-Pins and Referrer-Policy

See examples for Apache and nginx: https://docs.mybb.com/1.8/administration...ty-headers
You can set Referrer-Policy to no-referrer-when-downgrade on public pages and more strict values for the ACP and similar locations.

Make sure you understand how key pinning works if you decide to introduce it - some basic summaries:

My headers are above if that provides any inspiration. You can use the following nginx config options to get similar headers:
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" always;
add_header X-Xss-Protection "1; mode=block" always;
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;
add_header Referrer-Policy "no-referrer-when-downgrade" always;
I'm not including my content security policy as it's huge and might cause problems on your board if you don't understand what you're configuring.
