Description

This PR introduces a way to detect if an email's iframe violates our content security policy, for example trying to load external images when the user hasn't enable them.

We now only show the "allow external images" yellow banner if we detect there has actually been a violation.

Walkthrough

The changes update the CSP handling in two parts of the mail application. In the mail iframe component, a new state variable tracks CSP violations by listening to window messages and conditionally renders a warning. In the email utilities, a nonce-based CSP is implemented by generating a nonce for the meta tag and adding a listener for security policy violation events. Both modifications bolster security by controlling script execution and handling CSP violations.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
apps/mail/components/.../mail-iframe.tsx Added a state variable (cspViolation) and a useEffect hook to listen for csp-violation window messages; the iframe’s sandbox attribute was updated to include allow-scripts and the warning rendering logic was modified based on the new state.
apps/mail/lib/email-utils.ts Implemented a nonce-based CSP: generates a nonce for the email template’s CSP meta tag, restricts sources, and includes a script-src directive; added a script element to listen for securitypolicyviolation events that sends a message to the parent window on event detection.

Poem

I'm a hopping rabbit with a techy beat,
Watching CSP warnings—what a treat!
With nonce and signals, our code's secure,
I nibble on carrots, safe and sure.
Bounce along, dear coder, to a future bright!
🐇💻 Hop on, and let your code take flight!
Happy hoppers in secure delight!


🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
apps/mail/lib/email-utils.ts (1)

23-24: Review CSP configuration for potential security risks
Allowing 'unsafe-inline' for styles (and 'img-src *' if imagesEnabled) can pose a security risk. Verify whether these directives are required for emails, or consider tightening them if feasible.

apps/mail/components/mail/mail-iframe.tsx (1)

92-105: Validate event origin for enhanced security
When listening for message events, consider checking event.origin or otherwise verifying the sender to mitigate spoofed messages from other windows.

window.addEventListener(
  'message',
  (event) => {
-    if (event.data.type === 'csp-violation') {
+    if (event.origin === window.location.origin && event.data?.type === 'csp-violation') {
       setCspViolation(true);
     }
  },
  { signal: ctrl.signal },
);

apps/mail/lib/email-utils.ts (1)

27-38: Script approach for detecting CSP violations looks solid
This addition effectively logs CSP violations and lets the parent know about them. Looks good as is.

apps/mail/components/mail/mail-iframe.tsx (3)

16-16: Well-structured state variable for tracking CSP violations
The cspViolation state variable is straightforward and supports the new banner logic.


109-125: Conditionally rendering the banner meets PR goals
Displaying the banner only when there's a CSP violation and images are disabled is precisely in line with the objective to avoid unnecessary warnings.


149-149: Updated sandbox attribute aligns with nonce-based CSP
Adding allow-scripts is consistent with the new CSP handling where only scripts with the proper nonce can run.
