Must use 'unsafe-eval' for CSP policy when using JS SDK

[egloff]

• Package Name: @azure/communication-calling
• Package Version: 1.6.3
• Operating system: Ubuntu Linux 22.10
• browser: Chrome 109.0.5414.119

Describe the bug Basically this is a 'reopen' of the following bug: https://github.com/Azure/Communication/issues/384 The communication-calling library still requires allowing script-src: unsafe-eval for a CSP policy. Further it would be nice, when all required CSP policies are documented somewhere and we don't need to try-and-error during development.

Expected behavior The library (and any dependencies of it) should not require 'unsafe-eval'.

Additional context Exact error message is:

Content Security Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource at eval (“script-src”). [sdk.bundle.js:92:172540](https://partner.bsi-software.com/nightly/bsicrm_23_1/@azure/communication-calling/dist/sdk.bundle.js)

I like the suggestion about documenting required CSP policies. It's odd that eval is being used though, I wonder if some dependency is dragging that in?

[egloff]

I may have found something:

Line 92 and 109 are both imports of the Library Microsoft Dynamic Proto Utility, 1.1.4, which itself uses the external JavaScript Library Sinon.JS at version 1.17.2 which indeed uses eval for some purpose.

This version is rather old (2015?!?):

In the current version you can find the following comment:

    // Do not change this to use an eval. Projects that depend on sinon block the use of eval.
    // ref: https://github.com/sinonjs/sinon/issues/710

It references a ticket which was fixed at the end of 2015...

The current version of Microsoft Dynamic Proto Utility (1.1.7) still uses version 1.17.2 of Sinon.JS, so maybe they need to update their dependencies or this library should not be used by the Azure Communication Services API?

Or I may be wrong and the eval comes from somewhere else, because sinon-1.17.2.js is located in the folder DynamicProto-JS-1.1.4.tar.gz:/rollup/test/External/ and therefore may only be used for testing?

@egloff you are right. it comes from https://github.com/microsoft/DynamicProto-JS/blob/master/rollup/test/External/sinon-1.17.2.js

you may want to log an issue there instead?

[egloff]

Sorry, I am a little bit confused.

We are currently upgrading @azure/communication-calling to version 1.10.1 to allow the usage of Firefox for our product. Now we have still an 'unsafe-eval' policy violation, but in another library:

Line 116 which points to Cloud.ts:

As you can see, the Microsoft Dynamic Proto libraries are still there, in the same versions, but the error is reported on the Cloud.ts library.

That results in two more questions:

• Do you know what changed between the two versions (1.6.3 and 1.10.1) considering to the usage of Microsoft Dynamic Proto?
• Where is Cloud.ts coming from and may it be fixed?

[egloff]

There is a new Version of Microsoft Dynamic Proto (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@microsoft/dynamicproto-js/v/1.1.8) available which does not include the suspected Sinon.JS version anymore. You may want to bump the version from 1.1.4 (and 1.1.7?) to 1.1.8.

But as you can see in my previous comment, the problem may persist as in the version 1.10.1 the csp error results from the Cloud.ts dependency and not Microsoft Dynamic Proto. Could you have a look at this, I don't see where Cloud.ts is coming from nor where it is hosted.. Any help would be appreciated :)

[jeremymeng]

@akania @fizampou please take a look.

[akania]

@egloff can you please give it a try with https://www.npmjs.com/package/@azure/communication-calling/v/1.13.0-alpha.20230324.4 - recently couple of dependencies mentioned before was updated - meantime we'll continue checking occurrence in Cloud.ts and come back with findings asap

[egloff]

Hey @akania

Thanks for reaching out to me, I checked out the new version, unfortunately I still get the described CSP error in the area of Cloud.ts:

Btw: as you can see, there is the new version of Microsoft Dynamic Proto (1.1.8), but right after it follows the version 1.1.7 of the same library.. I don't know if that is on purpose or not, but it does not seem to trigger the CSP error.

Also required to use unsafe-eval when using the video effect feature BackgroundBlurEffects from @azure/communications-calling(-effects) package.

The stacktrace mentions WASM, but wasm-unsafe-eval doesn't work compared to unsafe-eval.
