I am using an external JavaScript lib in my chrome extension. I has inline execution, so I get following kind of error
(The error I get on console)
Refused to execute JavaScript URL because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src 'self' chrome-extension://". Either the 'unsafe-inline' keyword, a hash ('sha256-...'), or a nonce ('nonce-...') is required to enable inline execution.
The error message clearly says there is a work-around possible.
Chrome-Content Security Policy says not possible. Many related question cited this link.
Blog This blogger says it is possible, but probably this is applicable to only older chrome extension.
Any work around possible?
PS: don't wanna/can't change the entire library I am using.
EDIT: how to use hash or nonce to enable inline execution.
Copied from my answer to a similar question here. For recent versions of Chrome (46+) the current answer is no longer true.
unsafe-inline
still has no effect (in both the manifest and inmeta
header tags), but per the documentation, you can use the technique described here to relax the restriction.As an example, consider:
manifest.json:
background.html:
Result:
I also tested putting the applicable directive in a
meta
tag instead of the manifest. While the CSP indicated in the console message did include the content of the tag, it would not execute the inline script (in Chrome 53).new background.html:
Result:
No, this is not possible to relax this policy.unsafe-inline
is specifically ignored by Chrome Extensions since manifest version 2.Documentation (emphasis mine):
The error message mentions several possible ways, but the docs are clear that no CSP will allow inline scripting, and ignoring
unsafe-inline
is but one of the measures.Update
