Http Permissions Policy Header Missing

Description

Detects when a web application response is missing the Permissions-Policy HTTP header. The Permissions Policy header is a critical security control that allows websites to explicitly control which browser features and APIs can be used in the application context, helping prevent potential abuse of powerful browser capabilities.

Weakness:

440 - Insecure or unset HTTP headers - Permissions-Policy

Category: Protocol Manipulation

Detection Strategy

    Examines HTTP response headers from the web application

    Reports a vulnerability when the Permissions-Policy header is completely absent from the response headers

    The vulnerability is triggered regardless of other security headers that may be present
