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), in the same commit that added the nonce.
Why this is not a straight removal
Removing
.AllowUnsafeEval()outright is not possible yet, and I verified that in the browser rather than inferring it:Views/Shared/Components/VueCdn/VueCdnInit.cshtmlloadswwwroot/lib/vue/dist/vue.global.prod.js, 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)()(the singleFunction(call site in that bundle). Every Razor page under_VIPERLayout.cshtmldepends on this.With the allowance removed and the app running locally,
/returns HTTP 200 and renders completely blank, with:The built Vue SPAs have no such dependency. Vite precompiles their templates, the shells carry no inline script, and a scan of all 177 built JS files under
wwwroot/vuefinds zeronew Function(oreval(call sites.Change
web/Classes/CspPolicy.cs(new) -WithoutUnsafeEval(header)strips the source expression and tidies the resulting whitespace.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. This deliberately avoids reordering the CSP middleware relative toUseRouting, which would have been the only other way to tell SPA requests from Razor requests and would have cost every static file its CSP header..AllowUnsafeEval()now records why it is still there and what has to change first, so it is not deleted without migrating the Razor pages.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
Verified against a full production build, not the dev server:
npm run dev:buildruns the production Vite build intowwwroot/vue, publishes the app in Release todist/dev, and runs it with no Vite dev server, which is the same shape TEST and Production serve. Logged in through CAS.unsafe-eval/_VIPERLayout)/Students/StudentClassYear/CTSCTSControllerclaims/[area])/Students/PhotoGallery/CMS/Effort/Computing/2/vue/src/Students/index.htmlEvery one of those 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: it booted, rendered the full Quasar layout, changed client-side route (
?tab=list), fetched from the API, and re-rendered on a class-year selection (?tab=list&studentListYear=2028, page title updated to "Class of 2028 (V3)"). Zero CSP violations and zero page errors across all of it. The only console error in the run was a 404 from the legacy ColdFusion session-timeout endpoint, which does not exist locally and is unrelated.Every other directive (
style-src,connect-src,font-src,img-src,object-src,frame-ancestors,frame-src) is byte-identical on both policies.test/Classes/CspPolicyTests.cs, 9 tests: the allowance is removed from every position in a directive, the nonce and all other directives survive,'unsafe-inline'onstyle-srcis untouched, a policy without the allowance is returned unchanged, and null/empty are handled. Full backend suite: 2741 passed.Notes and follow-ups
_VIPERLayoutoff the full Vue build and.mount('body')onto precompiled templates, which is a real project, not a CSP tweak. Worth its own ticket.WebApplicationFactoryhost with database and SSM access. The browser results above cover the end-to-end case for this change.npm run dev), SPA requests are proxied by Vite and keep the permissive dev policy, so the strict header is not observable there. Usenpm run dev:buildto exercise it locally.
