SpecificationNot yet, but soon.

Summary

Complex web applications often need to keep tabs of the subresources that
they download, for security purposes. In particular, upcoming industry
standards and best practices (e.g. PCI-DSS v4) require that web
applications keep an inventory of all the scripts they download and
execute. This feature builds on the Reporting API to report the URLs and
hashes (for CORS/same-origin) of all the script resources that the document
loads.

Motivation

Web developers load many different script assets to their sites, and those
scripts can then load other assets. Some of those assets are versioned and
their content's integrity can be validated using Subresource Integrity or
using Content Security Policy hashes. But other assets are dynamic,
ever-green scripts that can be updated by their provider at any moment. The
web platform has no means of validating the integrity of such scripts,
neither in reporting nor in enforcement mode. At the same time, upcoming
security standards require web developers to maintain an up to date
inventory of all scripts that execute in the context of their payment page
documents, and have a mechanism to validate their integrity. In the absence
of better mechanisms, developers and merchants will need to settle for
lower fidelity security guarantees — e.g. offline hash verification through
crawling. Such mechanisms leave a lot to be desired in terms of their
coverage, while at the same time add a lot of implementation complexity.

Risks


Interoperability and Compatibility

As this is a new feature activated through an HTTP header, I don't believe
there's any compatibility risk associated with it.

As for interoperability, it's a bit early to say but casually talking to
Mozilla and Webkit folks about it didn't trigger any alarms on their end.
