Dec 1, 20252025-12 (prestodb/presto) monthly summary: Implemented Content Security Policy hardening for image sources to reduce image-based content injection risks. The change tightens img-src by removing http/https wildcards, allowing only UI-origin and inline data URIs, based on ZAP findings and in line with CWE-693 and OWASP guidance. Commit: 6cd0529aaac64c1b1de864b9f46e060fe3ad2447. Release notes snippet prepared; security posture improved with minimal UI impact; lays groundwork for further CSP hardening.
