Comment (by ermiuyo):

 Replying to [comment:2 ermiuyo]:
 > The warning in the browser console is triggered because the preview
 iframe inside the WordPress Customizer (customize.php) is being loaded
 with both allow-scripts and allow-same-origin in its sandbox attribute.
 This combination allows scripts within the iframe to break out of the
 sandbox, which is a security concern. Additionally, the Content Security
 Policy (CSP) message indicates that x-frame-options is being ignored due
 to the presence of frame-ancestors.
 >

 To confirm the issue, inspect the iframe element inside customize.php by
 using Developer Tools (right-click → Inspect). Look for the sandbox
 attribute inside the iframe. If it includes allow-scripts and allow-same-
 origin, that is the reason for the warning.

 Additionally, check the response headers of the previewed site using the
 Network tab to verify CSP and X-Frame-Options settings.
