Whether it's forgotten temporary files, installation artifacts, READMEs, or even simple image files--default content on web servers can turn into a boon for attackers.

A Content Security Policy (CSP) is a security mechanism implemented by web servers and enforced by browsers to prevent various types of attacks, primarily cross-site scripting (XSS). CSP works by restricting resources (scripts, stylesheets, images, etc.) on a webpage to only execute if they come from approved sources. However, like most things in security, CSP isn't bulletproof.
