+ ## Security
166
+
167
+ Wrec uses the JavaScript `eval` function to evaluate JavaScript expressions
168
+ that are placed in attribute values and the text content of elements.
169
+ This has security implications if those expressions
170
+ can come from untrusted sources, so it is best avoid
171
+ creating web components that use untrusted content in those ways.
172
+
173
+ Perhaps the most dangerous thing the use of `eval` allows
174
+ is sending HTTP requests to other servers.
175
+ Such requests could contain data scraped from your web app
176
+ in order to share it with unscrupulous sites.
177
+
178
+ The easiest way to prevent this is to add a
179
+ Content Security Policy (CSP) to your web app.
180
+ Simply adding the following element as a child of the
181
+ `head` element in each page blocks sending HTTP requests
182
+ to any domain except that of your web app:
183
+
184
+ ```html
185
+ <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="connect-src 'self'" />
186
+ ```
