Force a nonce on all script tags when CSP is enabled
What does this MR do?
Related to #30720
Related to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-security/appsec/appsec-reviews/-/issues/44
Up until now we've been setting the nonce
attribute manually on inline scripts. They are rendered when the CSP is enabled and helps prevent XSS, however for external scripts we need to allowlist all the URLs in our CSP. This is tedious and a big barrier to having a CSP enabled by default.
This MR leverages an existing helper we had to set defer
attributes everywhere and adds nonce
to all script
tags regardless of if the script is inline or external.
It also removes all the now-redundant nonce: true
used in various places.
The CSP itself isn't modified, that's coming in a future MR.
