The HTTP Content-Security-Policy (CSP) sandbox directive enables a sandbox for the requested resource similar to the <iframe> sandbox attribute. It applies restrictions to a page's actions including preventing popups, preventing the execution of plugins and scripts, and enforcing a same-origin policy.

Content-Security-Policy: sandbox;
Content-Security-Policy: sandbox <value>;
where <value> can optionally be one of the following values:
allow-downloads
Allows for downloads after the user clicks a button or link.
allow-downloads-without-user-activation Experimental
Allows for downloads to occur without a gesture from the user.
allow-forms
Allows the page to submit forms. If this keyword is not used, this operation is not allowed.
allow-modals
Allows the page to open modal windows.
allow-orientation-lock
Allows the page to disable the ability to lock the screen orientation.
allow-pointer-lock
Allows the page to use the Pointer Lock API.
allow-popups
Allows popups (like from window.open, target="_blank", showModalDialog). If this keyword is not used, that functionality will silently fail.
allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox
Allows a sandboxed document to open new windows without forcing the sandboxing flags upon them. This will allow, for example, a third-party advertisement to be safely sandboxed without forcing the same restrictions upon the page the ad links to.
allow-presentation
Allows embedders to have control over whether an iframe can start a presentation session.
allow-same-origin
Allows the content to be treated as being from its normal origin. If this keyword is not used, the embedded content is treated as being from a unique origin.
allow-scripts
Allows the page to run scripts (but not create pop-up windows). If this keyword is not used, this operation is not allowed.
allow-storage-access-by-user-activation Experimental
Lets the resource request access to the parent's storage capabilities with the Storage Access API.
Allows the page to navigate (load) content to the top-level browsing context. If this keyword is not used, this operation is not allowed.
Lets the resource navigate the top-level browsing context, but only if initiated by a user gesture.
Allows navigations toward non-fetch schemes to be handed off to external software.
