Description

Permissions-Policy is Only Served on HTML Content-Type

The application configurable Permissions-Policy is only served on responses with an HTML related Content-Type.

This has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-28103.

Versions Affected: >= 6.1.0 Not affected: < 6.1.0 Fixed Versions: 6.1.7.8, 7.0.8.4, and 7.1.3.4

Impact

Responses with a non-HTML Content-Type are not serving the configured Permissions-Policy. There are certain non-HTML Content-Types that would benefit from having the Permissions-Policy enforced.
