Using Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to host files such as scripts and stylesheets that are shared among multiple sites can improve site performance and conserve bandwidth. However, using CDNs also comes with a risk, in that if an attacker gains control of a CDN, the attacker can inject arbitrary malicious content into files on the CDN (or replace the files completely) and thus can also potentially attack all sites that fetch files from that CDN.

Subresource Integrity (SRI) is a security feature that enables browsers to verify that resources they fetch (for example, from a CDN) are delivered without unexpected manipulation. It works by allowing you to provide a cryptographic hash that a fetched resource must match.

Webpack plugin for enabling Subresource Integrity.

yarn add --dev webpack-subresource-integrity

import SriPlugin from 'webpack-subresource-integrity';

const compiler = webpack({
    output: {
        crossOriginLoading: 'anonymous',
    },
    plugins: [
        new SriPlugin({
            hashFuncNames: ['sha256', 'sha384'],
            enabled: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production',
        }),
    ],
});
