When implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) protections, always explicitly pass nonce values to components rather than auto-applying them. This gives developers more control over security aspects and prevents potential security bypasses when integrating components from different sources.

Key implementation guidelines:
style-src
and script-src
directives)Example in React:
// Correct: Explicitly passing nonce to style elements
<style
href="foo"
precedence="default"
nonce={CSPnonce}>{`.foo { color: hotpink; }`}</style>
// When rendering on server, pass nonce to the renderer
renderToPipeableStream(
<App />,
{ nonce: CSPnonce }
);
// For preinitialized styles, ensure nonces are added consistently
// to maintain security guarantees
const preinitOptions = {
precedence: 'default',
nonce: CSPnonce // Explicitly add nonce here too
};
Properly implemented CSP with nonces is one of the strongest defenses against cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, but only if nonces are managed correctly and consistently throughout your application.
