# webpack-subresource-integrity
|
|
|
|
Webpack plugin for enabling Subresource Integrity.
|
|
|
|
[Subresource Integrity](http://www.w3.org/TR/SRI/) (SRI) is a security
|
|
feature that enables browsers to verify that files they fetch (for
|
|
example, from a CDN) are delivered without unexpected
|
|
manipulation.
|
|
|
|
**Upgrading from version 1.x? [Read the migration guide](https://github.com/waysact/webpack-subresource-integrity/blob/main/MIGRATE-v1-to-v5.md).**
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Optional integration with [html-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/ampedandwired/html-webpack-plugin).
|
|
- Automatic support for dynamic imports (also known as code splitting.)
|
|
- Compatible with Webpack 5 (for Webpack versions 1-4 see [1.x branch](https://github.com/waysact/webpack-subresource-integrity/tree/1.x/).)
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
yarn add --dev webpack-subresource-integrity
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
npm install webpack-subresource-integrity --save-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Recommended Webpack Configuration
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
import { SubresourceIntegrityPlugin } from "webpack-subresource-integrity";
|
|
// or: const { SubresourceIntegrityPlugin } = require('webpack-subresource-integrity');
|
|
|
|
const compiler = webpack({
|
|
output: {
|
|
// the following setting is required for SRI to work:
|
|
crossOriginLoading: "anonymous",
|
|
},
|
|
plugins: [new SubresourceIntegrityPlugin()],
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Setting the `integrity` attribute for top-level assets
|
|
|
|
For the plugin to take effect it is **essential** that you set the
|
|
`integrity` attribute for top-level assets (i.e. assets loaded by your
|
|
HTML pages.)
|
|
|
|
#### With HtmlWebpackPlugin
|
|
|
|
When html-webpack-plugin is injecting assets into the template (the
|
|
default), the `integrity` attribute will be set automatically. The
|
|
`crossorigin` attribute will be set as well, to the value of
|
|
`output.crossOriginLoading` webpack option. There is nothing else to
|
|
be done.
|
|
|
|
#### With HtmlWebpackPlugin({ inject: false })
|
|
|
|
When you use html-webpack-plugin with `inject: false`, you are
|
|
required to set the `integrity` and `crossorigin` attributes in your
|
|
template as follows:
|
|
|
|
```ejs
|
|
<% for (let index in htmlWebpackPlugin.files.js) { %>
|
|
<script
|
|
src="<%= htmlWebpackPlugin.files.js[index] %>"
|
|
integrity="<%= htmlWebpackPlugin.files.jsIntegrity[index] %>"
|
|
crossorigin="<%= webpackConfig.output.crossOriginLoading %>"
|
|
></script>
|
|
<% } %>
|
|
|
|
<% for (let index in htmlWebpackPlugin.files.css) { %>
|
|
<link
|
|
rel="stylesheet"
|
|
href="<%= htmlWebpackPlugin.files.css[index] %>"
|
|
integrity="<%= htmlWebpackPlugin.files.cssIntegrity[index] %>"
|
|
crossorigin="<%= webpackConfig.output.crossOriginLoading %>"
|
|
/>
|
|
<% } %>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Without HtmlWebpackPlugin
|
|
|
|
The correct value for the `integrity` attribute can be retrieved from
|
|
the `integrity` property of Webpack assets. For example:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
compiler.plugin("done", (stats) => {
|
|
const integrityValues = stats
|
|
.toJson()
|
|
.assets.map((asset) => [asset.name, asset.integrity]);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that when you add the `integrity` attribute on your `link` and
|
|
`script` tags, you're also required to set the `crossorigin`
|
|
attribute. It is recommended to set this attribute to the same value
|
|
as the webpack `output.crossOriginLoading` configuration option.
|
|
|
|
### Web Server Configuration
|
|
|
|
If your page can be loaded through plain HTTP (as opposed to HTTPS),
|
|
you must set the `Cache-Control: no-transform` response header or your
|
|
page will break when assets are loaded through a transforming
|
|
proxy. [See below](#proxies) for more information.
|
|
|
|
When using caching, stale assets will fail to load since they will not pass
|
|
integrity checks. It is vital that you configure caching correctly in your web
|
|
server. [See below](#caching) for more information.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
#### hashFuncNames
|
|
|
|
Default value: `["sha384"]`
|
|
|
|
An array of strings, each specifying the name of a hash function to be
|
|
used for calculating integrity hash values.
|
|
|
|
See [SRI: Cryptographic hash functions](http://www.w3.org/TR/SRI/#cryptographic-hash-functions)
|
|
|
|
The default is chosen based on the current [suggestion by the
|
|
W3C](https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/REC-SRI-20160623/#hash-collision-attacks) which
|
|
reads:
|
|
|
|
> At the time of writing, SHA-384 is a good baseline.
|
|
|
|
See [here](https://github.com/w3c/webappsec/issues/477) for additional
|
|
information on why SHA-384 was chosen by the W3C over their initial suggestion,
|
|
SHA-256.
|
|
|
|
As one of the commenters in that discussion points out, "SRI hashes are likely
|
|
delivered over SSL" which today (2021) is often using SHA-256 so that there is
|
|
probably little harm in downgrading this to `sha256` instead.
|
|
|
|
By using SHA-256 you will save 21 bytes per chunk and perhaps a few CPU cycles,
|
|
although SHA-384 is actually faster to compute on some hardware. Not that it
|
|
matters, as the difference is dwarfed by all the other work a browser has to do
|
|
in order to download and parse a JS or CSS asset.
|
|
|
|
You probably want to use `sha512` instead of the default only if you're
|
|
paranoid. It will cost you an additional 21 bytes per chunk; the CPU overhead is
|
|
virtually nil because SHA-512 is the same as SHA-384, just not truncated.
|
|
|
|
Although you can specify multiple hash functions here, doing so is pointless as
|
|
long as all mainstream browsers only support the SHA-2 family, which is the case
|
|
today. Worse, it's detrimental since it adds unnecessary overhead.
|
|
|
|
The reason is that as per the spec, only the strongest hash function is used and
|
|
so eg. `['sha256', 'sha512']` is equivalent to `['sha512']` unless SHA-512 was
|
|
one day deemed _weaker_ than SHA-256 by user agents, which is an unlikely
|
|
scenario. As one of the authors of the W3C spec [puts
|
|
it](https://github.com/mozilla/srihash.org/issues/155#issuecomment-259800503):
|
|
|
|
> The support for multiple hashes is in the spec for backward-compatibility once
|
|
> we introduce new hash algorithms (e.g. SHA3).
|
|
|
|
#### enabled
|
|
|
|
Default value: `"auto"`
|
|
|
|
One of `"auto"`, `true`, or `false`.
|
|
|
|
`true` means to enable the plugin and `false` means to disable it.
|
|
|
|
`auto` is the default and means to enable the plugin when the [Webpack
|
|
mode](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/mode/) is `production` or
|
|
`none` and disable it when it is `development`.
|
|
|
|
#### hashLoading
|
|
|
|
Default value: `"eager"`
|
|
|
|
One of `"eager"` or `"lazy"`
|
|
|
|
`"eager""` means that integrity hashes for all assets will be defined in the entry chunk.
|
|
|
|
`"lazy"` means that integrity hashes for any given asset will be defined in its direct parents
|
|
in the chunk graph. This can lead to duplication of hashes across assets, but can significantly
|
|
reduce the size of your entry chunk(s) if you have a large number of async chunks.
|
|
|
|
## Exporting `integrity` values
|
|
|
|
You might want to export generated integrity hashes, perhaps for use
|
|
with SSR. We recommend
|
|
[webpack-assets-manifest](https://github.com/webdeveric/webpack-assets-manifest)
|
|
for this purpose. When configured with option `integrity: true` it
|
|
will include the hashes generated by this plugin in the manifest.
|
|
|
|
[Example usage with webpack-assets-manifest](https://github.com/waysact/webpack-subresource-integrity/tree/main/examples/webpack-assets-manifest/).
|
|
|
|
## Caveats
|
|
|
|
### Caching
|
|
|
|
Using SRI presents a potential risk to the availability of your website when
|
|
HTTP response caching is setup incorrectly. Stale asset versions are always
|
|
problematic but SRI exacerbates the risk.
|
|
|
|
Without SRI, inconsequential changes (such as whitespace-only changes) don't
|
|
matter, and your website might still look OK when a stale CSS asset is used.
|
|
Even with a stale JS asset there's a chance your website will still be more or
|
|
less working as expected.
|
|
|
|
With SRI, however, a stale asset will fail hard. This is because the browser
|
|
won't tell the difference between a version of your asset that has been tampered
|
|
with and one that is simply outdated: both will fail the integrity check and
|
|
refuse to load.
|
|
|
|
It's therefore imperative that, if you do use caching, you use a robust setup:
|
|
one where _any_ change in content, no matter how miniscule or inconsequential,
|
|
will cause the cache to be invalidated.
|
|
|
|
With Webpack and long-term caching this means using `[contenthash]` (with
|
|
`realContentHash`, which is enabled by default in production mode). Using
|
|
`[contenthash]` with `realContentHash` disabled, or using a different type of
|
|
hash placeholder (such as `[chunkhash]`) provides weaker guarantees, which is
|
|
why this plugin will output a warning in these cases. See [issue
|
|
#162](https://github.com/waysact/webpack-subresource-integrity/issues/162)
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
### Proxies
|
|
|
|
By its very nature, SRI can cause your page to break when assets are
|
|
modified by a proxy. This is because SRI doesn't distinguish between
|
|
malicious and benevolent modifications: any modification will prevent
|
|
an asset from being loaded.
|
|
|
|
Notably, this issue can arise when your page is loaded through
|
|
[Chrome Data Saver](https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/data-compression).
|
|
|
|
This is only a problem when your page can be loaded with plain HTTP,
|
|
since proxies are incapable of modifying encrypted HTTPS responses.
|
|
|
|
Presumably, you're looking to use SRI because you're concerned about
|
|
security and thus your page is only served through HTTPS anyway.
|
|
However, if you really need to use SRI and HTTP together, you should
|
|
set the `Cache-Control: no-transform` response header. This will
|
|
instruct all well-behaved proxies (including Chrome Data Saver) to
|
|
refrain from modifying the assets.
|
|
|
|
### Preloading
|
|
|
|
This plugin adds the integrity attribute to `<link rel="preload">`
|
|
tags, but preloading with SRI doesn't work as expected in current
|
|
Chrome versions. The resource will be loaded twice, defeating the
|
|
purpose of preloading. This problem doesn't appear to exist in
|
|
Firefox or Safari. See [issue
|
|
#111](https://github.com/waysact/webpack-subresource-integrity/issues/111)
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
### Browser support
|
|
|
|
Browser support for SRI is widely implemented. Your page will still
|
|
work on browsers without support for SRI, but subresources won't be
|
|
protected from tampering.
|
|
|
|
See [Can I use Subresource Integrity?](http://caniuse.com/#feat=subresource-integrity)
|
|
|
|
### Hot Reloading
|
|
|
|
This plugin can interfere with hot reloading and therefore should be
|
|
disabled when using tools such as `webpack-dev-server`. This shouldn't
|
|
be a problem because hot reloading is usually used only in development
|
|
mode where SRI is not normally needed.
|
|
|
|
For testing SRI without setting up a full-blown web server, consider
|
|
using a tool such as [`http-server`](https://github.com/indexzero/http-server).
|
|
|
|
### Safari and Assets that Require Cookies
|
|
|
|
As detailed in
|
|
[Webpack Issue #6972](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/6972),
|
|
the `crossOrigin` attribute can break loading of assets in certain
|
|
edge cases due to a bug in Safari. Since SRI requires the
|
|
`crossOrigin` attribute to be set, you may run into this case even
|
|
when source URL is same-origin with respect to the asset.
