Re: Attempt to use CSP - Questions

Brad,

Thanks, of course I do not intend to use it in production, while I was 
securing resources loading of the project I was just curious to try CSP, 
and looking at some FF/Chrome announcements it seemed that nonces were 
implemented.

Maybe I am wrong but I am not 100% convinced by the CSP statement saying 
that resources should not come inline and better be splitted into 
different urls, because the more you load things, the more you increase 
the risk of having what you are loading modified by an attacker, but 
probably both approaches have their pro and cons.

That's why I am not loading the code of the worker and I am using 
createObjectURL but the intention here was not to find an alternative to 
eval, I really need a worker.

Probably the group has already discussed the topic of "unsafe-eval to a 
set of urls", the problem in my example is that I am opening eval and 
inline scripts to Google (even if Google APIs are using eval, it should 
not apply to all whitelisted resources), why is it so hard to do?

I did not see the discussion about nonces being replaced by hash and 
about URL paths but will try to follow it, the ideas are interesting, I 
hope they will survive.

Regards,

Aymeric

They will not be supported by default in most browsers, (in Chrome they are behind "experimental webkit features" in chrome://flags ) they may not survive to the final spec, (there is talk of replacing nonces with hashes) and there are no conformance tests for this yet.

Because this involves creating code from strings, and we have no origin-tainting mechanism in browsers to understand where these strings came from, there is no way to meaningfully express a policy like "unsafe-eval only from example.com".

We are considering changing this behavior, not just because it is incompatible, but because it is insecure.  This behavior may be behind unsafe-eval or require explicit listing of blob: in the near future.
