How Do You Block Scripts From Reading Card Fields?

Any script on a payment page can read any input on it, and the browser has no way to say that one script may touch the card field and another may not. This video shows the three levers that close that gap at runtime: card entry in your provider's iframe, vendor guardrails that allow a tag but stop it reading card details, and block rules by URL, host, domain or vendor, with monitor-only mode so you can see what would be blocked before anything stops.

Both are spotted by watching which script reads the fields. Keep your Content Security Policy.
