I am developing a Flask App and it uses Flask-Talisman to incorporate a CSP. I wanted to create an inline script in one of my templates and instead of adding 'unsafe-inline' to the 'script-src' array of the CSP which could be potentially harmful to XSS attacks, I wanted to use either a hash or a nonce to allow the script. I copied the hash given in the error message of the console in dev tools on Opera and placed it inside my 'script-src' array of the CSP (in the init.py file). However, the CSP won't accept the hash for some reason and I don't know how to fix it. I also tried this with a nonce and the same issue occurred. This is the console output (I removed the hash for security reasons):
The source list for Content Security Policy directive 'script-src' contains an invalid source: 'sha256-(hash goes here)'.
It will be ignored.
And here is my CSP in init.py:
csp = {
"default-src": [
"'self'",
'https://www.youtube.com',
'https://img.youtube.com'
],
'script-src': [ 'sha256-(hash goes here)',
'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.7/umd/popper.min.js',
'https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.js',
'https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js'],
'style-src': ["'self'",'https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css']
}
A
hash
and anonce
needs to be in quotes, so you should replace this:with this:
similar to how you are including
'self'
.Note also that flask-talisman has
nonce
support built in, so doesn't need to be manually specified. It will be added automatically. See this example: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/flask-talisman#example-6
