Enhancing Frontend Security with Subresource Integrity (SRI)

Protect your web application from CDN tampering by implementing Subresource Integrity (SRI) for externally hosted scripts and stylesheets.

<script src="https://example.com/script.js"
        integrity="sha384-oqVuAfXRKap7fdgcCY5uykM6+L96fylRk/rXwclWTxW7uWjXj+v6FwB8F2fFz4Q"
        crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://example.com/style.css"
      integrity="sha384-H+K76RVpTfH7yN5kX9uFk/Qz2o5e/QhGv/J4dF1k7XgJ7/Wn4xQe/J5o5y5c5f5g"
      crossorigin="anonymous">
How it works: 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 (like SHA-384) that the browser can compare to the fetched file's hash. If the hashes don't match, the browser will refuse to load the resource, preventing potential supply chain attacks. The `crossorigin` attribute is also required for SRI to work correctly.
