UX/UI

Definition

UX/UI refers to User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) design, which are critical components in software development focused on enhancing user satisfaction by improving the usability, accessibility, and interaction between the user and the product. UX design is concerned with the overall feel of the product, while UI design is about how the product’s interfaces look and function. Both disciplines aim to create intuitive and efficient user interactions with applications.

Secure Settings Example

{
  "contentSecurityPolicy": {
    "default-src": "'self'",
    "script-src": "'self' 'sha256-abc123'",
    "style-src": "'self' 'sha256-def456'",
    "img-src": "'self' data:",
    "connect-src": "'self'",
    "font-src": "'self'",
    "object-src": "'none'",
    "frame-ancestors": "'none'"
  }
}

This JSON snippet represents a Content Security Policy (CSP) configuration that helps protect against cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by only allowing resources from the same origin and specific hashed scripts and styles.

Insecure Settings Example

{
  "contentSecurityPolicy": {
    "default-src": "*",
    "script-src": "*",
    "style-src": "*",
    "img-src": "*",
    "connect-src": "*",
    "font-src": "*",
    "object-src": "*",
    "frame-ancestors": "*"
  }
}

This configuration is insecure because it uses wildcard ‘*’ for all directives, allowing resources from any origin, which can lead to vulnerabilities such as XSS and data injection attacks.
