Web Security: Common Vulnerabilities And Their Mitigation - The nonce attribute and the script hash

The video tutorial covers the importance of avoiding inline scripts for web security and introduces methods to safely use them when necessary. It explains the use of the nonce attribute and script hashing to whitelist inline scripts under Content Security Policy (CSP). The tutorial also provides guidance on implementing CSP in existing production sites, including using report-only mode to identify and fix violations before full enforcement.
