🛡️ Sentinel: Add Content Security Policy (CSP)#377
Conversation
- Added CSP meta tag to index.html restricting script/style/connect sources. - Allowed specific CDNs for Pyodide execution. - Removed explicit `hast-util-sanitize` type import in MarkdownRenderer.tsx to avoid extra dependency while maintaining type safety via structural typing.

Pull request overview
Adds a baseline Content Security Policy to the Vite + Pyodide client app to reduce XSS blast radius, and removes a sanitizer type import that was causing a missing type dependency problem.
Changes:
- Add a CSP meta tag in
index.htmlto restrict script/resource sources for the client-side app. - Remove the explicit
Schematype import/annotation from the Markdown sanitizer schema to avoid a non-direct type dependency. - Reorder ESLint plugin devDependencies in
package.json.

The CSP shipped in index.html includes dev-only relaxations (script-src 'unsafe-inline' and connect-src ws:). Because index.html is used for production builds too, this weakens XSS mitigations in prod (inline script execution and unrestricted WebSocket connections). Consider splitting CSP by environment (dev vs prod) and tightening production by removing unsafe-inline and replacing ws: with an explicit localhost-only WebSocket allowlist (or omitting it entirely in prod).

PR description says the CSP restricts resource loading to specific allowlisted sources, but img-src currently allows any https: image. That’s a much broader permission than the described “specific CDNs” approach and can allow data exfiltration via image requests if XSS occurs. If external images aren’t required, consider removing https: or narrowing to explicit domains.

Removing the Schema type annotation avoids the extra type dependency, but it also drops compile-time validation for this sanitizer schema (easy to introduce typos like className vs class or invalid keys). You can keep type-safety without adding hast-util-sanitize by using a derived type, e.g. satisfies Parameters<typeof rehypeSanitize>[0] (or the exported options/schema type from rehype-sanitize if available).

Harden CSP for production, preserve dev ergonomics
🛡️ Sentinel: [MEDIUM] Add Content Security Policy
💡 Vulnerability: The application lacked a Content Security Policy (CSP), allowing unrestricted script execution and resource loading. This increases the risk of XSS attacks executing malicious scripts or loading unauthorized resources.
🎯 Impact: An attacker could potentially inject malicious scripts (via XSS) that exfiltrate data or execute unauthorized actions.
🔧 Fix: Added a strict CSP meta tag to index.html restricting:
Also fixed a missing type dependency issue in MarkdownRenderer.tsx by removing the explicit type import to avoid unnecessary dependencies.
