This section describes features that apply most directly to web browsers. Having said that, except where specified otherwise, the requirements defined in this section do apply to all user agents, whether they are web browsers or not.
7.1 Supporting concepts
7.1.1 Origins
Origins are the fundamental currency of the web's security model. Two actors in the web platform that share an origin are assumed to trust each other and to have the same authority. Actors with differing origins are considered potentially hostile versus each other, and are isolated from each other to varying degrees.
For example, if Example Bank's web site, hosted at bank.example.com
, tries to examine the DOM of Example Charity's web site, hosted
at charity.example.org
, a "SecurityError
"
DOMException
will be raised.
An origin is one of the following:
- An opaque origin
An internal value, with no serialization it can be recreated from (it is serialized as "
null
" per serialization of an origin), for which the only meaningful operation is testing for equality.- A tuple origin
-
A tuple consisting of:
- A scheme (an ASCII string).
- A host (a host).
- A port (null or a 16-bit unsigned integer).
- A domain (null or a domain). Null unless stated otherwise.
Origins can be shared, e.g., among multiple
Document
objects. Furthermore, origins are generally
immutable. Only the domain of a tuple origin can be changed, and only through the document.domain
API.
The effective domain of an origin origin is computed as follows:
If origin is an opaque origin, then return null.
If origin's domain is non-null, then return origin's domain.
Return origin's host.
The serialization of an origin is the string obtained by applying the following algorithm to the given origin origin:
If origin is an opaque origin, then return "
null
".Otherwise, let result be origin's scheme.
Append "
://
" to result.Append origin's host, serialized, to result.
If origin's port is non-null, append a U+003A COLON character (:), and origin's port, serialized, to result.
Return result.
The serialization of ("https
", "xn--maraa-rta.example
", null, null) is "https://xn--maraa-rta.example
".
There used to also be a Unicode serialization of an origin. However, it was never widely adopted.
Two origins, A and B, are said to be same origin if the following algorithm returns true:
If A and B are the same opaque origin, then return true.
If A and B are both tuple origins and their schemes, hosts, and port are identical, then return true.
Return false.
Two origins, A and B, are said to be same origin-domain if the following algorithm returns true:
If A and B are the same opaque origin, then return true.
-
If A and B are both tuple origins:
If A and B's schemes are identical, and their domains are identical and non-null, then return true.
Otherwise, if A and B are same origin and their domains are both null, return true.
Return false.
A | B | same origin | same origin-domain |
---|---|---|---|
("https ", "example.org ", null, null)
| ("https ", "example.org ", null, null)
| ✅ | ✅ |
("https ", "example.org ", 314, null)
| ("https ", "example.org ", 420, null)
| ❌ | ❌ |
("https ", "example.org ", 314, "example.org ")
| ("https ", "example.org ", 420, "example.org ")
| ❌ | ✅ |
("https ", "example.org ", null, null)
| ("https ", "example.org ", null, "example.org ")
| ✅ | ❌ |
("https ", "example.org ", null, "example.org ")
| ("http ", "example.org ", null, "example.org ")
| ❌ | ❌ |
7.1.1.1 Sites
A scheme-and-host is a tuple of a scheme (an ASCII string) and a host (a host).
A site is an opaque origin or a scheme-and-host.
To obtain a site, given an origin origin, run these steps:
If origin is an opaque origin, then return origin.
If origin's host's registrable domain is null, then return (origin's scheme, origin's host).
Return (origin's scheme, origin's host's registrable domain).
Two sites, A and B, are said to be same site if the following algorithm returns true:
If A and B are the same opaque origin, then return true.
If A or B is an opaque origin, then return false.
If A's and B's scheme values are different, then return false.
If A's and B's host values are not equal, then return false.
Return true.
The serialization of a site is the string obtained by applying the following algorithm to the given site site:
If site is an opaque origin, then return "
null
".Let result be site[0].
Append "
://
" to result.Append site[1], serialized, to result.
Return result.
It needs to be clear from context that the serialized value is a site, not an
origin, as there is not necessarily a syntactic difference between the two. For example, the
origin ("https
", "shop.example
", null, null) and
the site ("https
", "shop.example
") have the same
serialization: "https://shop.example
".
Two origins, A and B, are said to be schemelessly same site if the following algorithm returns true:
If A and B are the same opaque origin, then return true.
-
If A and B are both tuple origins, then:
If hostA equals hostB and hostA's registrable domain is null, then return true.
If hostA's registrable domain equals hostB's registrable domain and is non-null, then return true.
Return false.
Two origins, A and B, are said to be same site if the following algorithm returns true:
Let siteA be the result of obtaining a site given A.
Let siteB be the result of obtaining a site given B.
If siteA is same site with siteB, then return true.
Return false.
Unlike the same origin and same origin-domain concepts, for schemelessly same site and same site, the port and domain components are ignored.
For the reasons explained in URL, the same site and schemelessly same site concepts should be avoided when possible, in favor of same origin checks.
Given that wildlife.museum
, museum
, and com
are public suffixes and that example.com
is not:
A | B | schemelessly same site | same site |
---|---|---|---|
("https ", "example.com ")
| ("https ", "sub.example.com ")
| ✅ | ✅ |
("https ", "example.com ")
| ("https ", "sub.other.example.com ")
| ✅ | ✅ |
("https ", "example.com ")
| ("http ", "non-secure.example.com ")
| ✅ | ❌ |
("https ", "r.wildlife.museum ")
| ("https ", "sub.r.wildlife.museum ")
| ✅ | ✅ |
("https ", "r.wildlife.museum ")
| ("https ", "sub.other.r.wildlife.museum ")
| ✅ | ✅ |
("https ", "r.wildlife.museum ")
| ("https ", "other.wildlife.museum ")
| ❌ | ❌ |
("https ", "r.wildlife.museum ")
| ("https ", "wildlife.museum ")
| ❌ | ❌ |
("https ", "wildlife.museum ")
| ("https ", "wildlife.museum ")
| ✅ | ✅ |
("https ", "example.com ")
| ("https ", "example.com. ")
| ❌ | ❌ |
(Here we have omitted the port and domain components since they are not considered.)
7.1.1.2 Relaxing the same-origin restriction
document.domain [ = domain ]
-
Returns the current domain used for security checks.
Can be set to a value that removes subdomains, to change the origin's domain to allow pages on other subdomains of the same domain (if they do the same thing) to access each other. This enables pages on different hosts of a domain to synchronously access each other's DOMs.
In sandboxed
iframe
s,Document
s with opaque origins, andDocument
s without a browsing context, the setter will throw a "SecurityError
" exception. In cases wherecrossOriginIsolated
ororiginAgentCluster
return true, the setter will do nothing.
Avoid using the document.domain
setter. It
undermines the security protections provided by the same-origin policy. This is especially acute
when using shared hosting; for example, if an untrusted third party is able to host an HTTP
server at the same IP address but on a different port, then the same-origin protection that
normally protects two different sites on the same host will fail, as the ports are ignored when
comparing origins after the document.domain
setter has
been used.
Because of these security pitfalls, this feature is in the process of being removed from the web platform. (This is a long process that takes many years.)
Instead, use postMessage()
or
MessageChannel
objects to communicate across origins in a safe manner.
The domain
getter steps are:
Let effectiveDomain be this's origin's effective domain.
If effectiveDomain is null, then return the empty string.
Return effectiveDomain, serialized.
The domain
setter steps are:
If this's browsing context is null, then throw a "
SecurityError
"DOMException
.If this's active sandboxing flag set has its sandboxed
document.domain
browsing context flag set, then throw a "SecurityError
"DOMException
.Let effectiveDomain be this's origin's effective domain.
If effectiveDomain is null, then throw a "
SecurityError
"DOMException
.If the given value is not a registrable domain suffix of and is not equal to effectiveDomain, then throw a "
SecurityError
"DOMException
.If the surrounding agent's agent cluster's is origin-keyed is true, then return.
Set this's origin's domain to the result of parsing the given value.
To determine if a scalar value string hostSuffixString is a registrable domain suffix of or is equal to a host originalHost:
If hostSuffixString is the empty string, then return false.
Let hostSuffix be the result of parsing hostSuffixString.
If hostSuffix is failure, then return false.
-
If hostSuffix does not equal originalHost, then:
-
If hostSuffix or originalHost is not a domain, then return false.
This excludes hosts that are IP addresses.
If hostSuffix, prefixed by U+002E (.), does not match the end of originalHost, then return false.
-
If any of the following are true:
hostSuffix equals hostSuffix's public suffix; or
hostSuffix, prefixed by U+002E (.), matches the end of originalHost's public suffix,
then return false. [URL]
Assert: originalHost's public suffix, prefixed by U+002E (.), matches the end of hostSuffix.
-
Return true.
hostSuffixString | originalHost | Outcome of is a registrable domain suffix of or is equal to | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
"0.0.0.0 " | 0.0.0.0 | ✅ | |
"0x10203 " | 0.1.2.3 | ✅ | |
"[0::1] " | ::1 | ✅ | |
"example.com " | example.com | ✅ | |
"example.com " | example.com. | ❌ | Trailing dot is significant. |
"example.com. " | example.com | ❌ | |
"example.com " | www.example.com | ✅ | |
"com " | example.com | ❌ | At the time of writing, com is a public suffix. |
"example " | example | ✅ | |
"compute.amazonaws.com " | example.compute.amazonaws.com | ❌ | At the time of writing, *.compute.amazonaws.com is a public suffix. |
"example.compute.amazonaws.com " | www.example.compute.amazonaws.com | ❌ | |
"amazonaws.com " | www.example.compute.amazonaws.com | ❌ | |
"amazonaws.com " | test.amazonaws.com | ✅ | At the time of writing, amazonaws.com is a registrable domain. |
7.1.2 Origin-keyed agent clusters
window.originAgentCluster
-
Returns true if this
Window
belongs to an agent cluster which is origin-keyed, in the manner described in this section.
A Document
delivered over a secure context can request that it be
placed in an origin-keyed agent
cluster, by using the `Origin-Agent-Cluster
` HTTP
response header. This header is a structured header
whose value must be a boolean.
[STRUCTURED-FIELDS]
Per the processing model in the create
and initialize a new Document
object, values
that are not the structured header boolean
true value (i.e., `?1
`) will be ignored.
The consequences of using this header are that the resulting
Document
's agent cluster key is its origin, instead of the corresponding site. In terms of observable effects, this means that
attempting to relax the same-origin
restriction using document.domain
will instead do
nothing, and it will not be possible to send WebAssembly.Module
objects to
cross-origin Document
s (even if they are same site). Behind the scenes,
this isolation can allow user agents to allocate implementation-specific resources corresponding
to agent clusters, such as processes or threads, more
efficiently.
Note that within a browsing context group, the
`Origin-Agent-Cluster
` header can never cause same-origin Document
objects to end up in different agent clusters, even if one
sends the header and the other doesn't. This is prevented by means of the
historical agent cluster key map.
This means that the originAgentCluster
getter can return false, even if the
header is set, if the header was omitted on a previously-loaded same-origin page in the same
browsing context group. Similarly, it can return true even when the header is not
set.
The originAgentCluster
getter steps are to return the
surrounding agent's agent cluster's is origin-keyed.
Document
s with an opaque
origin can be considered unconditionally origin-keyed; for them the header has no effect,
and the originAgentCluster
getter will always return
true.
Similarly, Document
s whose agent cluster's cross-origin isolation mode is not "none
" are automatically origin-keyed. The
`Origin-Agent-Cluster
` header might be useful as an additional hint to
implementations about resource allocation, since the `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy
`
and `Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy
` headers used to achieve cross-origin isolation
are more about ensuring that everything in the same address space opts in to being there. But
adding it would have no additional observable effects on author code.
7.1.3 Cross-origin opener policies
An opener policy value allows a document which is navigated to in a top-level browsing context to force the creation of a new top-level browsing context, and a corresponding group. The possible values are:
- "
unsafe-none
" This is the (current) default and means that the document will occupy the same top-level browsing context as its predecessor, unless that document specified a different opener policy.
- "
same-origin-allow-popups
" This forces the creation of a new top-level browsing context for the document, unless its predecessor specified the same opener policy and they are same origin.
- "
same-origin
" This behaves the same as "
same-origin-allow-popups
", with the addition that any auxiliary browsing context created needs to contain same origin documents that also have the same opener policy or it will appear closed to the opener.- "
same-origin-plus-COEP
" -
This behaves the same as "
same-origin
", with the addition that it sets the (new) top-level browsing context's group's cross-origin isolation mode to one of "logical
" or "concrete
"."
same-origin-plus-COEP
" cannot be directly set via the `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy
` header, but results from a combination of setting both `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin
` and a `Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy
` header whose value is compatible with cross-origin isolation together. - "
noopener-allow-popups
" -
This forces the creation of a new top-level browsing context for the document, regardless of its predecessor.
While including a
noopener-allow-popups
value severs the opener relationship between the document on which it is applied and its opener, it does not create a robust security boundary between those same-origin documents.Other risks from same-origin applications include:
Same-origin requests fetching the document's content — could be mitigated through Fetch Metadata filtering. [FETCHMETADATA]
Same-origin framing - could be mitigated through
X-Frame-Options
or CSPframe-ancestors
.JavaScript accessible cookies - can be mitigated by ensuring all cookies are
httponly
.localStorage
access to sensitive data.Service worker installation.
postMessage
orBroadcastChannel
messaging that exposes sensitive information.Autofill which may not require user interaction for same-origin documents.
Developers using
noopener-allow-popups
need to make sure that their sensitive applications don't rely on client-side features accessible to other same-origin documents, e.g.,localStorage
and other client-side storage APIs,BroadcastChannel
and related same-origin communication mechanisms. They also need to make sure that their server-side endpoints don't return sensitive data to non-navigation requests, whose response content is accessible to same-origin documents.
An opener policy consists of:
A value, which is an opener policy value, initially "
unsafe-none
".A reporting endpoint, which is string or null, initially null.
A report-only value, which is an opener policy value, initially "
unsafe-none
".A report-only reporting endpoint, which is a string or null, initially null.
To match opener policy values, given an opener policy value documentCOOP, an origin documentOrigin, an opener policy value responseCOOP, and an origin responseOrigin:
If documentCOOP is "
unsafe-none
" and responseCOOP is "unsafe-none
", then return true.If documentCOOP is "
unsafe-none
" or responseCOOP is "unsafe-none
", then return false.If documentCOOP is responseCOOP and documentOrigin is same origin with responseOrigin, then return true.
Return false.
7.1.3.1 The headers
Headers/Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy
Support in all current engines.
OperaNoEdge83+
Edge (Legacy)?Internet ExplorerNo
Firefox Android?Safari iOS?Chrome Android?WebView AndroidNoSamsung Internet?Opera AndroidNo
A Document
's cross-origin opener
policy is derived from the `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy
` and `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy-Report-Only
` HTTP response headers.
These headers are structured headers whose value must
be a token. [STRUCTURED-FIELDS]
The valid token values are the opener policy values. The token may also have
attached parameters; of these, the "report-to
" parameter can have a valid URL
string identifying an appropriate reporting endpoint. [REPORTING]
Per the processing model described below, user agents will ignore this header if it contains an invalid value. Likewise, user agents will ignore this header if the value cannot be parsed as a token.
To obtain an opener policy given a response response and an environment reservedEnvironment:
Let policy be a new opener policy.
If reservedEnvironment is a non-secure context, then return policy.
Let parsedItem be the result of getting a structured field value given `
Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy
` and "item
" from response's header list.-
If parsedItem is not null, then:
-
If parsedItem[0] is "
same-origin
", then:Let coep be the result of obtaining a cross-origin embedder policy from response and reservedEnvironment.
If coep's value is compatible with cross-origin isolation, then set policy's value to "
same-origin-plus-COEP
".Otherwise, set policy's value to "
same-origin
".
If parsedItem[0] is "
same-origin-allow-popups
", then set policy's value to "same-origin-allow-popups
".If parsedItem[0] is "
noopener-allow-popups
", then set policy's value to "noopener-allow-popups
".If parsedItem[1]["
report-to
"] exists and it is a string, then set policy's reporting endpoint to parsedItem[1]["report-to
"].
-
Set parsedItem to the result of getting a structured field value given `
Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy-Report-Only
` and "item
" from response's header list.-
If parsedItem is not null, then:
-
If parsedItem[0] is "
same-origin
", then:Let coep be the result of obtaining a cross-origin embedder policy from response and reservedEnvironment.
-
If coep's value is compatible with cross-origin isolation or coep's report-only value is compatible with cross-origin isolation, then set policy's report-only value to "
same-origin-plus-COEP
".Report only COOP also considers report-only COEP to assign the special "
same-origin-plus-COEP
" value. This allows developers more freedom in the order of deployment of COOP and COEP. Otherwise, set policy's report-only value to "
same-origin
".
If parsedItem[0] is "
same-origin-allow-popups
", then set policy's report-only value to "same-origin-allow-popups
".If parsedItem[1]["
report-to
"] exists and it is a string, then set policy's report-only reporting endpoint to parsedItem[1]["report-to
"].
-
Return policy.
7.1.3.2 Browsing context group switches due to opener policy
To check if popup COOP values require a browsing context group switch, given two origins responseOrigin and activeDocumentNavigationOrigin, and two opener policy values responseCOOPValue and activeDocumentCOOPValue:
If responseCOOPValue is "
noopener-allow-popups
", then return true.-
If all of the following are true:
activeDocumentCOOPValue's value is "
same-origin-allow-popups
" or "noopener-allow-popups
"; andresponseCOOPValue is "
unsafe-none
",
then return false.
If the result of matching activeDocumentCOOPValue, activeDocumentNavigationOrigin, responseCOOPValue, and responseOrigin is true, then return false.
Return true.
To check if COOP values require a browsing context group switch, given a boolean isInitialAboutBlank, two origins responseOrigin and activeDocumentNavigationOrigin, and two opener policy values responseCOOPValue and activeDocumentCOOPValue:
If isInitialAboutBlank is true, then return the result of checking if popup COOP values requires a browsing context group switch with responseOrigin, activeDocumentNavigationOrigin, responseCOOPValue, and activeDocumentCOOPValue.
-
Here we are dealing with a non-popup navigation.
If the result of matching activeDocumentCOOPValue, activeDocumentNavigationOrigin, responseCOOPValue, and responseOrigin is true, then return false.
Return true.
To check if enforcing report-only COOP would require a browsing context group switch, given a boolean isInitialAboutBlank, two origins responseOrigin, activeDocumentNavigationOrigin, and two opener policies responseCOOP and activeDocumentCOOP:
-
If the result of checking if COOP values require a browsing context group switch given isInitialAboutBlank, responseOrigin, activeDocumentNavigationOrigin, responseCOOP's report-only value, and activeDocumentCOOPReportOnly's report-only value is false, then return false.
Matching report-only policies allows a website to specify the same report-only opener policy on all its pages and not receive violation reports for navigations between these pages.
If the result of checking if COOP values require a browsing context group switch given isInitialAboutBlank, responseOrigin, activeDocumentNavigationOrigin, responseCOOP's value, and activeDocumentCOOPReportOnly's report-only value is true, then return true.
If the result of checking if COOP values require a browsing context group switch given isInitialAboutBlank, responseOrigin, activeDocumentNavigationOrigin, responseCOOP's report-only value, and activeDocumentCOOPReportOnly's value is true, then return true.
Return false.
An opener policy enforcement result is a struct with the following items:
A boolean needs a browsing context group switch, initially false.
A boolean would need a browsing context group switch due to report-only, initially false.
A URL url.
An origin origin.
An opener policy opener policy.
A boolean current context is navigation source, initially false.
To enforce a response's opener policy, given a browsing context browsingContext, a URL responseURL, an origin responseOrigin, an opener policy responseCOOP, an opener policy enforcement result currentCOOPEnforcementResult, and a referrer referrer:
-
Let newCOOPEnforcementResult be a new opener policy enforcement result with
- needs a browsing context group switch
- currentCOOPEnforcementResult's needs a browsing context group switch
- would need a browsing context group switch due to report-only
- currentCOOPEnforcementResult's would need a browsing context group switch due to report-only
- url
- responseURL
- origin
- responseOrigin
- opener policy
- responseCOOP
- current context is navigation source
- true
Let isInitialAboutBlank be browsingContext's active document's is initial
about:blank
.If isInitialAboutBlank is true and browsingContext's initial URL is null, set browsingContext's initial URL to responseURL.
-
If the result of checking if COOP values require a browsing context group switch given isInitialAboutBlank, currentCOOPEnforcementResult's opener policy's value, currentCOOPEnforcementResult's origin, responseCOOP's value, and responseOrigin is true, then:
Set newCOOPEnforcementResult's needs a browsing context group switch to true.
-
If browsingContext's group's browsing context set's size is greater than 1, then:
Queue a violation report for browsing context group switch when navigating to a COOP response with responseCOOP, "
enforce
", responseURL, currentCOOPEnforcementResult's url, currentCOOPEnforcementResult's origin, responseOrigin, and referrer.Queue a violation report for browsing context group switch when navigating away from a COOP response with currentCOOPEnforcementResult's opener policy, "
enforce
", currentCOOPEnforcementResult's url, responseURL, currentCOOPEnforcementResult's origin, responseOrigin, and currentCOOPEnforcementResult's current context is navigation source.
-
If the result of checking if enforcing report-only COOP would require a browsing context group switch given isInitialAboutBlank, responseOrigin, currentCOOPEnforcementResult's origin, responseCOOP, and currentCOOPEnforcementResult's opener policy, is true, then:
Set newCOOPEnforcementResult's would need a browsing context group switch due to report-only to true.
-
If browsingContext's group's browsing context set's size is greater than 1, then:
Queue a violation report for browsing context group switch when navigating to a COOP response with responseCOOP, "
reporting
", responseURL, currentCOOPEnforcementResult's url, currentCOOPEnforcementResult's origin, responseOrigin, and referrer.Queue a violation report for browsing context group switch when navigating away from a COOP response with currentCOOPEnforcementResult's opener policy, "
reporting
", currentCOOPEnforcementResult's url, responseURL, currentCOOPEnforcementResult's origin, responseOrigin, and currentCOOPEnforcementResult's current context is navigation source.
Return newCOOPEnforcementResult.
To obtain a browsing context to use for a navigation response, given navigation params navigationParams:
Let browsingContext be navigationParams's navigable's active browsing context.
If browsingContext is not a top-level browsing context, then return browsingContext.
Let coopEnforcementResult be navigationParams's COOP enforcement result.
Let swapGroup be coopEnforcementResult's needs a browsing context group switch.
Let sourceOrigin be browsingContext's active document's origin.
Let destinationOrigin be navigationParams's origin.
-
If sourceOrigin is not same site with destinationOrigin:
-
If either of sourceOrigin or destinationOrigin have a scheme that is not an HTTP(S) scheme and the user agent considers it necessary for sourceOrigin and destinationOrigin to be isolated from each other (for implementation-defined reasons), optionally set swapGroup to true.
For example, if a user navigates from
about:settings
tohttps://example.com
, the user agent could force a swap.Issue #10842 tracks settling on an interoperable behavior here, instead of letting this be optional.
-
If navigationParams's user involvement is "
browser UI
", optionally set swapGroup to true.Issue #6356 tracks settling on an interoperable behavior here, instead of letting this be optional.
-
-
If browsingContext's group's browsing context set's size is 1, optionally set swapGroup to true.
Some implementations swap browsing context groups here for performance reasons.
The check for other contexts that could script this one is not sufficient to prevent differences in behavior that could affect a web page. Even if there are currently no other contexts, the destination page could open a window, then if the user navigates back, the previous page could expect to be able to script the opened window. Doing a swap here would break that use case.
-
If swapGroup is false, then:
If coopEnforcementResult's would need a browsing context group switch due to report-only is true, set browsingContext's virtual browsing context group ID to a new unique identifier.
Return browsingContext.
-
Let newBrowsingContext be the first return value of creating a new top-level browsing context and document.
In this case we are going to perform a browsing context group swap. browsingContext will not be used by the new
Document
that we are about to create. If it is not used by otherDocument
s either (such as ones in the back/forward cache), then the user agent might destroy it at this point. Let navigationCOOP be navigationParams's cross-origin opener policy.
-
If navigationCOOP's value is "
same-origin-plus-COEP
", then set newBrowsingContext's group's cross-origin isolation mode to either "logical
" or "concrete
". The choice of which is implementation-defined.It is difficult on some platforms to provide the security properties required by the cross-origin isolated capability. "
concrete
" grants access to it and "logical
" does not. Let sandboxFlags be a clone of navigationParams's final sandboxing flag set.
-
If sandboxFlags is not empty, then:
Assert: navigationCOOP's value is "
unsafe-none
".Assert: newBrowsingContext's popup sandboxing flag set is empty.
Set newBrowsingContext's popup sandboxing flag set to sandboxFlags.
Return newBrowsingContext.
7.1.3.3 Reporting
An accessor-accessed relationship is an enum that describes the relationship between two browsing contexts between which an access happened. It can take the following values:
- accessor is opener
The accessor browsing context or one of its ancestors is the opener browsing context of the accessed browsing context's top-level browsing context.
- accessor is openee
The accessed browsing context or one of its ancestors is the opener browsing context of the accessor browsing context's top-level browsing context.
- none
There is no opener relationship between the accessor browsing context, the accessor browsing context, or any of their ancestors.
To check if an access between two browsing contexts should be reported, given two browsing contexts accessor and accessed, a JavaScript property name P, and an environment settings object environment:
If P is not a cross-origin accessible window property name, then return.
Assert: accessor's active document and accessed's active document are both fully active.
Let accessorTopDocument be accessor's top-level browsing context's active document.
Let accessorInclusiveAncestorOrigins be the list obtained by taking the origin of the active document of each of accessor's active document's inclusive ancestor navigables.
Let accessedTopDocument be accessed's top-level browsing context's active document.
Let accessedInclusiveAncestorOrigins be the list obtained by taking the origin of the active document of each of accessed's active document's inclusive ancestor navigables.

7.1.4 Cross-origin embedder policies
Headers/Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy
Support in all current engines.
Opera?Edge83+
Edge (Legacy)?Internet ExplorerNo
Firefox Android?Safari iOS?Chrome Android?WebView Android86+Samsung Internet?Opera Android?
An embedder policy value is one of three strings that controls the fetching of cross-origin resources without explicit permission from resource owners.
- "
unsafe-none
" This is the default value. When this value is used, cross-origin resources can be fetched without giving explicit permission through the CORS protocol or the `
Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy
` header.- "
require-corp
" When this value is used, fetching cross-origin resources requires the server's explicit permission through the CORS protocol or the `
Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy
` header.- "
credentialless
" When this value is used, fetching cross-origin no-CORS resources omits credentials. In exchange, an explicit `
Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy
` header is not required. Other requests sent with credentials require the server's explicit permission through the CORS protocol or the `Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy
` header.
Before supporting "credentialless
", implementers are
strongly encouraged to support both:
Otherwise, it would allow attackers to leverage the client's network position to read non public resources, using the cross-origin isolated capability.
An embedder policy value is compatible with cross-origin isolation if
it is "credentialless
" or "require-corp
".
An embedder policy consists of:
A value, which is an embedder policy value, initially "
unsafe-none
".A reporting endpoint string, initially the empty string.
A report only value, which is an embedder policy value, initially "
unsafe-none
".A report only reporting endpoint string, initially the empty string.
The "coep
" report type is a report type whose value
is "coep
". It is visible to
ReportingObserver
s.
7.1.4.1 The headers
The `Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy
` and
`Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy-Report-Only
` HTTP response
headers allow a server to declare an embedder policy for an environment
settings object. These headers are structured
headers whose values must be token.
[STRUCTURED-FIELDS]
The valid token values are the embedder policy values. The token may also have attached parameters; of these, the "report-to
" parameter can have a valid URL
string identifying an appropriate reporting endpoint. [REPORTING]
The processing model fails open (by defaulting
to "unsafe-none
") in the presence of a header that cannot
be parsed as a token. This includes inadvertent lists created by combining multiple instances of
the `Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy
` header present in a given response:
`Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy ` | Final embedder policy value |
---|---|
No header delivered | "unsafe-none " |
`require-corp ` | "require-corp " |
`unknown-value ` | "unsafe-none " |
`require-corp, unknown-value ` | "unsafe-none " |
`unknown-value, unknown-value ` | "unsafe-none " |
`unknown-value, require-corp ` | "unsafe-none " |
`require-corp, require-corp ` | "unsafe-none " |
(The same applies to `Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy-Report-Only
`.)
To obtain an embedder policy from a response response and an environment environment:
Let policy be a new embedder policy.
If environment is a non-secure context, then return policy.
Let parsedItem be the result of getting a structured field value with `
Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy
` and "item
" from response's header list.-
If parsedItem is non-null and parsedItem[0] is compatible with cross-origin isolation:
Set parsedItem to the result of getting a structured field value with `
Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy-Report-Only
` and "item
" from response's header list.-
If parsedItem is non-null and parsedItem[0] is compatible with cross-origin isolation:
Set policy's report only value to parsedItem[0].
If parsedItem[1]["
report-to
"] exists, then set policy's endpoint to parsedItem[1]["report-to
"].
Return policy.
7.1.4.2 Embedder policy checks
To check a navigation response's adherence to its embedder policy given a response response, a navigable navigable, and an embedder policy responsePolicy:
If navigable is not a child navigable, then return true.
Let parentPolicy be navigable's container document's policy container's embedder policy.
If parentPolicy's report-only value is compatible with cross-origin isolation and responsePolicy's value is not, then queue a cross-origin embedder policy inheritance violation with response, "
navigation
", parentPolicy's report only reporting endpoint, "reporting
", and navigable's container document's relevant settings object.If parentPolicy's value is not compatible with cross-origin isolation or responsePolicy's value is compatible with cross-origin isolation, then return true.
Queue a cross-origin embedder policy inheritance violation with response, "
navigation
", parentPolicy's reporting endpoint, "enforce
", and navigable's container document's relevant settings object.Return false.
To check a global object's embedder policy given a WorkerGlobalScope
workerGlobalScope, an environment settings object owner, and
a response response:
If workerGlobalScope is not a
DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope
object, then return true.Let policy be workerGlobalScope's embedder policy.
Let ownerPolicy be owner's policy container's embedder policy.
If ownerPolicy's report-only value is compatible with cross-origin isolation and policy's value is not, then queue a cross-origin embedder policy inheritance violation with response, "
worker initialization
", ownerPolicy's report only reporting endpoint, "reporting
", and owner.If ownerPolicy's value is not compatible with cross-origin isolation or policy's value is compatible with cross-origin isolation, then return true.
Queue a cross-origin embedder policy inheritance violation with response, "
worker initialization
", ownerPolicy's reporting endpoint, "enforce
", and owner.Return false.
To queue a cross-origin embedder policy inheritance violation given a response response, a string type, a string endpoint, a string disposition, and an environment settings object settings:
Let serialized be the result of serializing a response URL for reporting with response.
-
Let body be a new object containing the following properties:
key value type type blockedURL serialized disposition disposition Queue body as the "
coep
" report type for endpoint on settings.
7.1.5 Sandboxing
A sandboxing flag set is a set of zero or more of the following flags, which are used to restrict the abilities that potentially untrusted resources have:
- The sandboxed navigation browsing context flag
-
This flag prevents content from navigating browsing contexts other than the sandboxed browsing context itself (or browsing contexts further nested inside it), auxiliary browsing contexts (which are protected by the sandboxed auxiliary navigation browsing context flag defined next), and the top-level browsing context (which is protected by the sandboxed top-level navigation without user activation browsing context flag and sandboxed top-level navigation with user activation browsing context flag defined below).
If the sandboxed auxiliary navigation browsing context flag is not set, then in certain cases the restrictions nonetheless allow popups (new top-level browsing contexts) to be opened. These browsing contexts always have one permitted sandboxed navigator, set when the browsing context is created, which allows the browsing context that created them to actually navigate them. (Otherwise, the sandboxed navigation browsing context flag would prevent them from being navigated even if they were opened.)
- The sandboxed auxiliary navigation browsing context flag
-
This flag prevents content from creating new auxiliary browsing contexts, e.g. using the
target
attribute or thewindow.open()
method. - The sandboxed top-level navigation without user activation browsing context flag
-
This flag prevents content from navigating their top-level browsing context and prevents content from closing their top-level browsing context. It is consulted only when the sandboxed browsing context's active window does not have transient activation.
When the sandboxed top-level navigation without user activation browsing context flag is not set, content can navigate its top-level browsing context, but other browsing contexts are still protected by the sandboxed navigation browsing context flag and possibly the sandboxed auxiliary navigation browsing context flag.
- The sandboxed top-level navigation with user activation browsing context flag
-
This flag prevents content from navigating their top-level browsing context and prevents content from closing their top-level browsing context. It is consulted only when the sandboxed browsing context's active window has transient activation.
As with the sandboxed top-level navigation without user activation browsing context flag, this flag only affects the top-level browsing context; if it is not set, other browsing contexts might still be protected by other flags.
- The sandboxed origin browsing context flag
-
This flag forces content into an opaque origin, thus preventing it from accessing other content from the same origin.
This flag also prevents script from reading from or writing to the
document.cookie
IDL attribute, and blocks access tolocalStorage
. - The sandboxed forms browsing context flag
-
This flag blocks form submission.
- The sandboxed pointer lock browsing context flag
-
This flag disables the Pointer Lock API. [POINTERLOCK]
- The sandboxed scripts browsing context flag
-
This flag blocks script execution.
- The sandboxed automatic features browsing context flag
-
This flag blocks features that trigger automatically, such as automatically playing a video or automatically focusing a form control.
- The sandboxed
document.domain
browsing context flag -
This flag prevents content from using the
document.domain
setter. - The sandbox propagates to auxiliary browsing contexts flag
-
This flag prevents content from escaping the sandbox by ensuring that any auxiliary browsing context it creates inherits the content's active sandboxing flag set.
- The sandboxed modals flag
-
This flag prevents content from using any of the following features to produce modal dialogs:
- The sandboxed orientation lock browsing context flag
-
This flag disables the ability to lock the screen orientation. [SCREENORIENTATION]
- The sandboxed presentation browsing context flag
-
This flag disables the Presentation API. [PRESENTATION]
- The sandboxed downloads browsing context flag
-
This flag prevents content from initiating or instantiating downloads, whether through downloading hyperlinks or through navigation that gets handled as a download.
- The sandboxed custom protocols navigation browsing context flag
-
This flag prevents navigations toward non fetch schemes from being handed off to external software.
When the user agent is to parse a sandboxing directive, given a string input and a sandboxing flag set output, it must run the following steps:
Split input on ASCII whitespace, to obtain tokens.
Let output be empty.
-
Add the following flags to output:
The sandboxed auxiliary navigation browsing context flag, unless tokens contains the
allow-popups
keyword.The sandboxed top-level navigation without user activation browsing context flag, unless tokens contains the
allow-top-navigation
keyword.-
The sandboxed top-level navigation with user activation browsing context flag, unless tokens contains either the
allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation
keyword or theallow-top-navigation
keyword.This means that if the
allow-top-navigation
is present, theallow-top-navigation-by-user-activation
keyword will have no effect. For this reason, specifying both is a document conformance error. -
The sandboxed origin browsing context flag, unless the tokens contains the
allow-same-origin
keyword.The
allow-same-origin
keyword is intended for two cases.First, it can be used to allow content from the same site to be sandboxed to disable scripting, while still allowing access to the DOM of the sandboxed content.
Second, it can be used to embed content from a third-party site, sandboxed to prevent that site from opening popups, etc, without preventing the embedded page from communicating back to its originating site, using the database APIs to store data, etc.
The sandboxed forms browsing context flag, unless tokens contains the
allow-forms
keyword.The sandboxed pointer lock browsing context flag, unless tokens contains the
allow-pointer-lock
keyword.The sandboxed scripts browsing context flag, unless tokens contains the
allow-scripts
keyword.-
The sandboxed automatic features browsing context flag, unless tokens contains the
allow-scripts
keyword (defined above).This flag is relaxed by the same keyword as scripts, because when scripts are enabled these features are trivially possible anyway, and it would be unfortunate to force authors to use script to do them when sandboxed rather than allowing them to use the declarative features.
The sandbox propagates to auxiliary browsing contexts flag, unless tokens contains the
allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox
keyword.The sandboxed modals flag, unless tokens contains the
allow-modals
keyword.The sandboxed orientation lock browsing context flag, unless tokens contains the
allow-orientation-lock
keyword.The sandboxed presentation browsing context flag, unless tokens contains the
allow-presentation
keyword.The sandboxed downloads browsing context flag, unless tokens contains the
allow-downloads
keyword.The sandboxed custom protocols navigation browsing context flag, unless tokens contains either the
allow-top-navigation-to-custom-protocols
keyword, theallow-popups
keyword, or theallow-top-navigation
keyword.
Every top-level browsing context has a popup sandboxing flag set, which is a sandboxing flag set. When a browsing context is created, its popup sandboxing flag set must be empty. It is populated by the rules for choosing a navigable and the obtain a browsing context to use for a navigation response algorithm.
Every iframe
element has an iframe
sandboxing flag set,
which is a sandboxing flag set. Which flags in an iframe
sandboxing flag set are set at any particular time is determined by the iframe
element's sandbox
attribute.
Every Document
has an active sandboxing flag set,
which is a sandboxing flag set. When the Document
is created, its
active sandboxing flag set must be empty. It is populated by the navigation algorithm.
Every CSP list cspList has CSP-derived sandboxing flags, which is a sandboxing flag set. It is the return value of the following algorithm:
Let directives be an empty ordered set.
-
For each policy in cspList:
If policy's disposition is not "
enforce
", then continue.If policy's directive set contains a directive whose name is "
sandbox
", then append that directive to directives.
If directives is empty, then return an empty sandboxing flag set.
Let directive be directives[directives's size − 1].
Return the result of parsing the sandboxing directive directive.
To determine the creation sandboxing flags for a browsing context browsing context, given null or an element embedder, return the union of the flags that are present in the following sandboxing flag sets:
If embedder is null, then: the flags set on browsing context's popup sandboxing flag set.
If embedder is an element, then: the flags set on embedder's
iframe
sandboxing flag set.If embedder is an element, then: the flags set on embedder's node document's active sandboxing flag set.
7.1.6 Policy containers
A policy container is a struct containing policies that apply to
a Document
, a WorkerGlobalScope
, or a WorkletGlobalScope
.
It has the following items:
A CSP list, which is a CSP list. It is initially empty.
An embedder policy, which is an embedder policy. It is initially a new embedder policy.
A referrer policy, which is a referrer policy. It is initially the default referrer policy.
An integrity policy, which is an integrity policy, initially a new integrity policy.
A report only integrity policy, which is an integrity policy, initially a new integrity policy.
Move other policies into the policy container.
To clone a policy container given a policy container policyContainer:
Let clone be a new policy container.
For each policy in policyContainer's CSP list, append a copy of policy into clone's CSP list.
Set clone's embedder policy to a copy of policyContainer's embedder policy.
Set clone's referrer policy to policyContainer's referrer policy.
Set clone's integrity policy to a copy of policyContainer's integrity policy.
Return clone.
To determine whether a URL url requires storing the policy container in history:
To create a policy container from a fetch response given a response response and an environment-or-null environment:
If response's URL's scheme is "
blob
", then return a clone of response's URL's blob URL entry's environment's policy container.Let result be a new policy container.
Set result's CSP list to the result of parsing a response's Content Security Policies given response.
If environment is non-null, then set result's embedder policy to the result of obtaining an embedder policy given response and environment. Otherwise, set it to "
unsafe-none
".Set result's referrer policy to the result of parsing the `
Referrer-Policy
` header given response. [REFERRERPOLICY]Parse Integrity-Policy headers with response and result.
Return result.
To determine navigation params policy container given a URL responseURL and four policy container-or-nulls historyPolicyContainer, initiatorPolicyContainer, parentPolicyContainer, and responsePolicyContainer:
-
If historyPolicyContainer is not null, then:
Assert: responseURL requires storing the policy container in history.
Return a clone of historyPolicyContainer.
-
If responseURL is
about:srcdoc
, then: If responseURL is local and initiatorPolicyContainer is not null, then return a clone of initiatorPolicyContainer.
If responsePolicyContainer is not null, then return responsePolicyContainer.
Return a new policy container.
To initialize a worker global scope's policy
container given a WorkerGlobalScope
workerGlobalScope, a response response, and an environment
environment:
-
If workerGlobalScope's url is local but its scheme is not "
blob
":Set workerGlobalScope's policy container to a clone of workerGlobalScope's owner set[0]'s relevant settings object's policy container.
Otherwise, set workerGlobalScope's policy container to the result of creating a policy container from a fetch response given response and environment.
