Pull request overview
This PR tightens the app’s Content-Security-Policy (CSP) for built Vue SPA responses by removing the 'unsafe-eval' source expression, while intentionally keeping it for legacy Razor pages that still depend on Vue’s runtime template compilation.
Changes:
- Added
CspPolicy.WithoutUnsafeEval()helper to strip'unsafe-eval'from an emitted CSP header value. - Updated
/2/vuestatic-file responses to rewrite the already-emitted CSP header and drop'unsafe-eval'for built SPA assets/shell. - Added unit tests validating the header transformation behavior.

The nonce-based policy also permitted unsafe-eval everywhere, which weakens the nonce and makes script-injection paths easier to exploit. Removing it outright is not possible yet: _VIPERLayout loads Vue's full build and mounts it on <body>, so Vue compiles that in-DOM template through Function(code)() and every legacy Razor page renders blank without the allowance (verified in the browser). The built SPAs have no such dependency, so their responses now drop it. - Comment at the allowance says why it is still there and what has to change first, so it is not deleted without migrating the Razor pages

Finding
The CSP applies a nonce to scripts but also permitted
'unsafe-eval'in every environment, which weakens the nonce and makes some script-injection paths easier to exploit. Introduced in cf06887 (2023-05-03), the same commit that added the nonce.Why this is not a straight removal
Views/Shared/Components/VueCdn/VueCdnInit.cshtmlloads Vue's full build andVueCdnCreate.cshtmlcalls.mount('body')with notemplateorrenderoption. Vue therefore treats the server-rendered body as an in-DOM template and compiles it at runtime throughFunction(code)(). Every Razor page under_VIPERLayout.cshtmldepends on this: with the allowance removed,/returns 200 and renders completely blank with anEvalErrornamingscript-src.The built Vue SPAs have no such dependency. Vite precompiles their templates, the shells carry no inline script, and a scan of the built JS under
wwwroot/vuefinds zeronew Function(oreval(call sites.Change
web/Classes/CspPolicy.cs(new) -WithoutUnsafeEval(header)strips the source expression per directive, falling back to'none'when it was the only one. Directives that never carried it pass through byte-identical.web/Program.cs-OnPrepareResponseon the/2/vuestatic-file provider rewrites the header the CSP middleware set earlier in the pipeline. That branch runs after the SPA rewrite, so it is the first point where the response is known to be a built SPA file. The alternative, reordering the CSP middleware relative toUseRouting, would have cost every static file its CSP header.Deriving the SPA policy from the emitted header rather than declaring a second policy means the two cannot drift: every other directive stays byte-identical.
Verification
Against a full production build, not the dev server:
npm run dev:buildruns the production Vite build intowwwroot/vue, publishes in Release, and runs with no Vite dev server, which is the shape TEST and Production serve. Logged in through CAS.unsafe-eval/_VIPERLayout)/CTSCTSControllerclaims/[area])/Students/PhotoGallery,/CMS,/Effort,/ComputingAll returned 200 with a nonce. The split follows what the response actually is rather than a path guess, which is why
/CTScorrectly keeps the allowance: an MVC endpoint claims that path, so it is a Razor page, not the SPA.Under the strict header the Students SPA was driven interactively through client-side routing, an API fetch, and a re-render on a class-year selection, with zero CSP violations and zero page errors.
test/Classes/CspPolicyTests.cs, 12 cases: removal from every position in a directive, the'none'fallback, valueless directives such asupgrade-insecure-requestsnot picking up a source, byte-identical passthrough of untouched directives, null/empty, and bothTightenForBuiltSpapaths. Full backend suite: 2737 passed.Notes and follow-ups
_VIPERLayoutoff the full Vue build and.mount('body')onto precompiled templates is a real project, not a CSP tweak. Worth its own ticket./2PathBase the SPA's own asset URLs arrive as/vue/...and are served by the generalUseStaticFilesearlier in the pipeline, so on TEST and Production they still carry the permissive header. Harmless, since CSP on a subresource response governs nothing, but a direct/2/vue/...URL shows the old header there even though the pages it serves are covered.WebApplicationFactoryhost with database and SSM access. The browser results above cover the end-to-end case.npm run dev), SPA requests are proxied by Vite and keep the permissive dev policy. Usenpm run dev:buildto exercise this locally.
