Security risk - Usage of Inline JavaScript

The client engaged a security assessment partner who has raised a security risk that the TRIRIGA requires 'unsafe' header values to function.

As a remediation, the security assessment partner advised avoiding the use of 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' in the 'Content-Security-Policy' header, instead using strict content security policies that only allow trusted sources and limit the use of inline scripts and dynamic code evaluation.

TRIRIGA functions when the Web-Server's Content Security Policy (CSP) is set as

Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self' https://*.instana.io 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'; font-src 'self' https://fonts.gstatic.com data:"

But the usage of these 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' values is considered insecure as they can allow an attacker to inject malicious code, resulting in cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks that may steal sensitive data or allow them to take control of the website.

If we remove them, it breaks the website, and not even the login page renders. See attachments named Snip20230324_13.png & Snip20230324_13.png. We couldn't use 'nonce' as it requires code change & many files need it. The hash or the unsafe-hashes directive wasn't feasible since we'll have to generate a hash for all javascript that we want to trust.
