Content Security Policy: "img-src 'self' data:"


I have an app, in which the user would be able to copy an image URL, paste it unto an input and the image will be loaded on a box.

But my app, keeps triggering this message:

Refused to load the image 'LOREM_IPSUM_URL' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "img-src 'self' data:".

That's my meta tag:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src *; 
img-src 'self' data:; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' *; 
style-src  'self' 'unsafe-inline' *">

I'm using html2Canvas within the app, and when I remove this: "img-src 'self' data:"

It fires this error:

html2canvas.js:3025 Refused to load the image 'data:image/svg+xml,
<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'></svg>' because it violates
the following Content Security Policy directive: "default-src *". 
Note that 'img-src' was not explicitly set, so 'default-src' is used as a fallback.

Along with a bunch of other errors.


Solution

  • Try replacing this part:

    img-src * 'self' data: https:;
    

    So the complete tag:

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src *;
       img-src * 'self' data: https:; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' *;
       style-src  'self' 'unsafe-inline' *">
