Allow Content Security Policy without "script-src data:"

    • Type: Improvement
    • Status: Open
    • Priority: Major
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Affects Version/s: 3.0.0
    • Fix Version/s: 3.0.x, 3.1.x
    • Component/s: UI

      Description

      In Content Security Policies (CSP), the data: directive of script-src can be considered insecure - similar to usages of unsafe-eval and unsafe-inline.

      While WEBUI-60 allows for the removal of unsafe-eval and unsafe-inline from the CSP by disabling org.nuxeo.web.ui.expressions.eval, this does not prevent browser errors from occurring when the data: directive is removed. There should be a mechanism to allow Polymer scripts to execute without the need for this policy directive.

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Set the following contribution (via XML extension or configuration template):

      <require>org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.web.common.requestcontroller.service.RequestControllerService.defaultContrib</require>
      <extension target="org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.web.common.requestcontroller.service.RequestControllerService" point="responseHeaders">
         <header name="Content-Security-Policy">default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; img-src 'self' data: www.nuxeo.com; font-src * data:; media-src 'self'; frame-src 'self'; frame-ancestors 'self'; object-src 'none';</header>
      </extension>
      
      <extension target="org.nuxeo.runtime.ConfigurationService" point="configuration">
         <property name="org.nuxeo.web.ui.expressions.eval">false</property>
      </extension>

      2. Login to the instance via Web UI

      Expected behavior: nuxeo-home loads; page is traversible

      Actual behavior: nuxeo-home is blank; several errors outputted in the browser console (see screenshot).

      Refused to load the script '<URL>' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src 'self'". Note that 'script-src-elem' was not explicitly set, so 'script-src' is used as a fallback.
