Hello Paul,
This is a common security challenge when balancing CSP strictness with plugin functionality. Here are several approaches to work around the Download Manager’s unsafe-inline
requirement:
## Immediate Solutions
1. Use a Nonce for Inline Styles
Instead of unsafe-inline
, try implementing nonces for the Download Manager’s inline styles:
Content-Security-Policy: style-src 'self' 'nonce-[your-random-nonce]'
You’ll need to add the nonce attribute to any inline <style>
tags the plugin generates.
2. Hash-Based Approach
Calculate SHA256 hashes of the specific inline styles and whitelist them:
Content-Security-Policy: style-src 'self' 'sha256-[hash-of-inline-style]'
## Better Long-term Solutions
3. Extract Inline Styles
– Create a separate CSS file containing the Download Manager’s styles
– Remove the inline styles from the plugin
– Include the CSS file with style-src 'self'
## Testing Your Implementation
Use browser dev tools to identify exactly which inline styles are being blocked, then target those specific elements with nonces or hashes.
