Description

I've noticed that the current version of ASVS does not have an item covering the implementation of the Feature-Policy header (also known as Permissions-Policy in its latest iteration). This header provides a method to control which browser features and APIs can be invoked, thereby playing a crucial role in minimizing the potential for abuse by malicious actors.

Proposed ASVS Item:

"Verify that a Feature-Policy (or Permissions-Policy) header is implemented to specify which browser features can be used by the application, minimizing the potential for abuse."
