## Rails 6.0.0.alpha (Unreleased) ##
-* Add support for automatic nonce generation for Rails UJS
-
- Because the UJS library creates a script tag to process responses it
- normally requires the script-src attribute of the content security
- policy to include 'unsafe-inline'.
-
- To work around this we generate a per-request nonce value that is
- embedded in a meta tag in a similar fashion to how CSRF protection
- embeds its token in a meta tag. The UJS library can then read the
- nonce value and set it on the dynamically generated script tag to
- enable it to execute without needing 'unsafe-inline' enabled.
-
- Nonce generation isn't 100% safe - if your script tag is including
- user generated content in someway then it may be possible to exploit
- an XSS vulnerability which can take advantage of the nonce. It is
- however an improvement on a blanket permission for inline scripts.
-
- It is also possible to use the nonce within your own script tags by
- using `nonce: true` to set the nonce value on the tag, e.g
-
- <%= javascript_tag nonce: true do %>
- alert('Hello, World!');
- <% end %>
-
- Fixes #31689.
