Resolving Drupal’s oEmbed Security Warning
Drupal expert Michael Anello has detailed a solution for addressing the "potentially insecure to display oEmbed content"
warning that appears on the Status Report page of modern Drupal sites with the Media module enabled. The issue stems from the use of iframes for embedding remote videos, which can expose cookies from the site's domain.
Michael outlines a four-step process to mitigate this security risk: setting up a new subdomain with the hosting provider, adding the subdomain to DNS records, modifying response headers to permit embedding from the new subdomain, and configuring the Media module to use it. This approach ensures enhanced security and removes the warning from the Status Report, highlighting an essential maintenance task for Drupal site managers.
