Is there an existing feature request for this?

  • I have searched the existing feature requests

Describe the feature you would like to request

Benefits:

  • Adds security headers to HTTP responses, helping to mitigate risks such as:
  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
  • Clickjacking
  • Content-Type sniffing
  • Provides a foundational layer of security for our application.

What problem does this feature solve?

To improve the security of our Express application, we should implement the Helmet middleware. Helmet helps set various HTTP headers that protect against common vulnerabilities.
