Given you have a strict CSP that only allows elements from your own domain: Content-Security-Policy: script-src 'self' This will block JavaScript handlers inlined as attribute into your HTML elements. Clicking on the following link will only log an error with a strict CSP: click me click me Solution 1: Move the handler into your JavaScript The recommended solution is to move the handler from the HTML to the allowed JavaScript file that we loaded via . In the example above we could invent a new [data-alert] attribute with the alert message: click me Then our JavaScript intercepts clicks on elements with that attribute: document.addEventListener('click', function(event) { let link = event.target.closest('[data-alert]') if (link) { let message = link.dataset.alert alert(message) event.preventDefault() } }) Solution 2: Allow that one handler in your CSP Some browsers allow the CSP directive script-src-attr. This lets you allow the hashes of actual JavaScript code. The SHA256 hash of alert('hello') is vIsp2avtxDy0157AryO+jEJVpLdmka7PI7o7C4q5ABE= (in Base64). We can allow this one event handlers like this: Content-Security-Policy: script-src 'self'; script-src-attr 'unsafe-hashes' 'sha256-vIsp2avtxDy0157AryO+jEJVpLdmka7PI7o7C4q5ABE=' Note the sha256- prefix. This event handler now works when clicked: click me But any other script will still be blocked: click me Dealing with legacy browsers Currently (November 2023) about 75% of browsers support script-src-attr. Here is a forward-looking compromise that many users use with new CSP features: Have a liberal CSP with old directives supported by all browsers Make your CSP stricter with new, more specific directives for browsers that support it The CSP spec supports that approach in that using newer, more specific directives disable older, more general features. In our case this means: For old browsers, allow all inline scripts For new browsers, disallow inline scripts but allow inline handlers with given hashes Here is a CSP directive that works like this: Content-Security-Policy: script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; script-src-elem 'self'; script-src-attr 'unsafe-hashes' 'sha256-vIsp2avtxDy0157AryO+jEJVpLdmka7PI7o7C4q5ABE=' Old browsers will only use script-src. New browsers will use script-src-elem (for tags) and script-src-attr (for inline event handlers), which override the more liberal rules from script-src.

When you need the DOM node of a tag (e.g. to read extra attributes, or to modify the DOM near it), you can usually reference it via document.currentScript. However, document.currentScript is unsupported in ancient browsers, like Internet Explorer 11 or wkhtmltopdf's Webkit engine. If you are not running async scripts, you can easily polyfill it: document.scripts[document.scripts.length - 1] It works because document.scripts grows with each tag that was evaluated. That is also the reason why this solution will not work reliably for async code. Demo: https://codepen.io/foobear/pen/poRLxQm
