Re: Re: MantisBT weakened CSP when using bundled Gravatar plugin

Any reason why you don't just always use the https:// version for Gravatar
here? Why ever use http://? Even if the MantisBT install is on HTTP, best
to always load any third-party resources over TLS to better protect against
MITM.

Just surprised me to see this:

MantisBT 1.3.0-rc.2 introduced a new bundled plugin to handle display of
users' avatars using Gravatar.

Instead of adding the Gravatar web site to the list of allowed image
sources in MantisBT's Content Security Policy, the plugin was replacing
the whole policy by:

   img-src 'self' http://www.gravatar.com/

instead of the more strict default one of:

   default-src 'self'; frame-ancestors 'none'; style-src 'self';
   script-src 'self'

Relaxed policy allows execution of remote and inline scripts, e.g.
potentially enabling XSS attacks.
