    High security plugin (instance security hardening)

    When you activate the High Security plugin, it creates or updates hundreds of different configurations to control the level of security on your instance. These configurations mitigate many of the top OWASP attacks by enabling strict access control, input validation, and output encoding.

    These configurations include:
    • Access Control
    • Business rules
    • System properties
    • UI policy action
    • script actions
    • script includes

    Example

    Refer to the examples for the following properties:

    Property Topic
    glide.ui.escape_all_script Escape Jelly
    glide.security.strict.actions Check UI action before execution
    glide.security.csrf_previous.allow Anti-CSRF token
    glide.security.csrf.strict.validation.mode CSRF strict validation
