Description

See also #39941

I have the security header:

Content-Security-Policy: script-src 'self' fathom.majid.org

set on my sites to prevent XSS attacks (fathom.majid.org is my whitelisted web analytics).

The WP 5.0 and Gutenberg UI is peppered with inline <script> tags, that are blocked by my browser with errors like:

Refused to execute inline script because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src 'self' fathom.majid.org". Either the 'unsafe-inline' keyword, a hash ('sha256-LZrqMXg105/BsVblQvgwyYDKJXiCWIgv2IQ6sU/VwVc='), or a nonce ('nonce-...') is required to enable inline execution.

The FE development best practice nowadays is to move all the JS code to versioned JS files sourced by <script src="..."> (better yet, asynchronously).

In its current shape, the user only has the choice between going back to the classic editor or disabling a critical security feature because of shortcomings in coding standards.
