PHP Labware internal utilities / htmLawed
HTMLAWED 1.2.18 safe mode against RSnake XSS VECTORS
To illustrate the anti-XSS'ing efficiency of htmLawed in safe mode, htmLawed was used to filter text for each of the XSS vector (code) listed on RSnake's XSS cheat sheet (31 January 2009).For each vector, the code is shown for both before and after the filtering. Most vectors obviously designed to exploit HTML markup in the <head> section or in <frame>, <noframe>, or <frameset> elements of web-pages, or those targeting non-HTML content such as PHP interpreters were not considered as those are outside htmLawed's purview. How htmLawed neutralizes text (e.g., '>' can be removed or converted to an HTML entity) can vary depending on the settings used.
The safe mode means that the htmLawed $config parameter safe is set to 1, and other parameters to over-ride any of the default parameter values implicitly used because of safe are not specified.
In such cases,
'safe'=>1 is thus equivalent to the following in a $config value:'comments'=>0,
'cdata'=>0, 'deny_attribute'=>'on*',
elements'=>'*-applet-embed-iframe-object-script',
'scheme'=>'href: aim, feed, file, ftp, gopher, http, https, irc,
mailto, news, nntp, sftp, ssh, telnet; style: nil; *:file, http, https'
Refer to htmLawed documentation for more about the safe parameter of $config and additional security considerations.
