Description
Recently I added Nuxt Security in a Project where i am fetching data from an API URL http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/blog/post/27
i am implementing Nuxt Image Module and While displaying image
<NuxtImg crossorigin="anonymous" :src="postDetail.post_image" />
It throws an error (only on Firefox, doesn't throw error on chrome and edge)
Content-Security-Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource at inline (“script-src-attr”).
Source: this.setAttribute('data-error', 1)
which i fixed using below settings
security: {
headers: {
contentSecurityPolicy: {
'img-src': ["'self'", 'data:', 'http://127.0.0.1:8000'],
'script-src-attr': ["'unsafe-inline'"], // Added this
},
},
},
But it is considered a security risk, as it can open the door to XSS attacks. It's generally recommended to avoid using 'unsafe-inline' whenever possible. I discussed this matter with Nuxt Security and they recommend to use nonce or hash value. They also said that unfortunately Nuxt Image doesnt support nonce or hash so there is no secure way. You can find the discussion here https://github.com/Baroshem/nuxt-security/issues/218

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Firefox CSP error with the shown NuxtImg usage and review the Nuxt Image behavior that calls setAttribute('data-error', 1). Define how nonce or hash support should be exposed, then verify the generated output works without 'unsafe-inline' under the reported Content-Security-Policy.
