   For example: ``php index.php command -- --myarg`` will pass ``--myarg`` as an argument instead of an option.
 - ``CLIRequest`` now supports options with values specified using an equals sign (e.g., ``--option=value``) in addition to the existing space-separated syntax (e.g., ``--option value``).
   This provides more flexibility in how you can pass options to CLI requests.
+- Added ``enable()`` and ``disable()`` methods to ``ContentSecurityPolicy`` to enable or disable the CSP header for the current request. See :ref:`csp-enable-disable`.
 - Added ``$enableStyleNonce`` and ``$enableScriptNonce`` options to ``Config\App`` to automatically add nonces to control whether to add nonces to style-* and script-* directives in the Content Security Policy (CSP) header when CSP is enabled. See :ref:`csp-control-nonce-generation` for details.
 - Added ``URI::withQuery()``, ``URI::withQueryArray()``, ``URI::withoutQueryVars()``, and ``URI::withOnlyQueryVars()`` to return cloned URIs with replaced or filtered query variables.

+Enable or Disable CSP at Runtime
+================================
+
+.. versionadded:: 4.8.0
+
+You can enable or disable CSP for the current request by using the
+``enable()`` and ``disable()`` methods on the CSP instance.
+
+For example, to enable/disable CSP for a specific response:
+
+.. literalinclude:: csp/017.php
+
+The runtime value takes precedence over the ``CSPEnabled`` configuration value
+for the current response.
+
+These methods only affect the current response. After the response has been sent,
+the CSP instance is recreated and the value of ``CSPEnabled`` in
+**app/Config/App.php** is used as the default for subsequent requests.
+
+This allows applications to keep CSP enabled globally while temporarily disabling
+it for specific responses, or enable it only where required.
+
