Add base-uri to the Content-Security-Policy on nginx
Why it matters
An injected base tag can make every relative script URL on the page load from an attacker's server. base-uri 'self' (or 'none') stops that and almost never breaks anything.
The fix
- Append ; base-uri 'self' to the value of the add_header Content-Security-Policy line, run sudo nginx -t and reload.
