CakePHP's CspMiddleware stores the script nonce in the cspScriptNonce request attribute (and the style nonce in cspStyleNonce) and never sets cspNonce. The admin templates only read cspNonce, so with the core middleware no nonce was emitted and the inline scripts were blocked. The CDN scripts had no nonce at all.

Changes:

  • templates/layout/queue.php: compute the nonce once (cspScriptNonce, falling back to cspNonce) and add it to the Chart.js, flatpickr and Bootstrap CDN scripts and the inline script. Inline <style> and the CDN stylesheets (Bootstrap, Font Awesome, flatpickr) get cspStyleNonce.
  • templates/Admin/QueuedJobs/stats.php: same script nonce lookup.
  • templates/Admin/QueuedJobs/heatmap.php: inline <style> gets cspStyleNonce.
  • Nonce attributes are only emitted when a nonce is set.
  • QueuedJobsControllerTest: the stats page carries the nonce from cspScriptNonce and from cspNonce as fallback on every script; the heatmap page carries cspStyleNonce on every style and stylesheet.

Follows dereuromark/CakePHP-DatabaseLog#87.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Queued job pages now apply provided security nonces to inline and external scripts, inline styles, and stylesheet links when available.
    • The stats page uses the preferred script nonce and falls back to the alternate nonce when needed. Empty nonce values continue to be omitted.

CakePHP's CspMiddleware stores the script nonce in the cspScriptNonce
request attribute and never sets cspNonce. The admin layout and the stats
page only read cspNonce, so with the core middleware their inline scripts
were blocked. The CDN scripts (Chart.js, flatpickr, Bootstrap) had no nonce
at all, and inline styles and CDN stylesheets now carry cspStyleNonce.

Walkthrough

Queued-job templates now add CSP nonce attributes to scripts, styles, and stylesheet links when request nonce values are nonempty. Tests verify script and style nonce attributes, including the script nonce fallback.

Changes: Queued-job CSP nonce rendering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Apply and verify CSP nonces
templates/layout/queue.php, templates/Admin/QueuedJobs/stats.php, templates/Admin/QueuedJobs/heatmap.php, tests/TestCase/Controller/Admin/QueuedJobsControllerTest.php
The templates use request attributes to add escaped nonce attributes to scripts and styles when the nonce is nonempty. The stats template prefers cspScriptNonce and falls back to cspNonce. Tests set request attributes and check rendered script and style elements.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: Low · up to 8b66d

The change adds CSP nonce support to the queued-jobs admin pages. In the rare case where the primary nonce is empty and only the legacy nonce is valid, scripts could be blocked. The risk is small and bounded.

Check the nonce value on every element.

These assertions accept an incorrect nonce as long as the attribute exists. The preceding assertion can be satisfied by the layout style even when the heatmap style has the wrong value. Check each style and stylesheet against style-nonce. Apply the same check to every script in the stats tests.

Review comment at @tests/TestCase/Controller/Admin/QueuedJobsControllerTest.php around lines 222 - 223:
Update the nonce assertions in the queued-jobs and stats tests to verify each style, stylesheet, and script has the expected style-nonce value, rather than merely checking that a nonce attribute exists. Ensure the heatmap style is checked independently so another style element cannot satisfy its assertion.

Review comments at @templates/layout/queue.php:
- Line 18: Update the nonce selection in the layout and the corresponding
selection in the stats template so an empty cspScriptNonce falls back to
cspNonce. Preserve the existing behavior when the primary nonce is non-empty,
and use the same fallback rule in both locations.
