Package bluemonday provides a way of describing a whitelist of HTML elements
and attributes as a policy, and for that policy to be applied to untrusted
strings from users that may contain markup. All elements and attributes not on
the whitelist will be stripped.
The default bluemonday.UGCPolicy().Sanitize() turns this:
Hello <STYLE>.XSS{background-image:url("javascript:alert('XSS')");}</STYLE><A CLASS=XSS></A>World
Into the more harmless:
Hello World
And it turns this:
<a href="javascript:alert('XSS1')" onmouseover="alert('XSS2')">XSS<a>
Into this:
XSS
Whilst still allowing this:
<a href="http://www.google.com/">
<img src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/accounts/ui/logo_2x.png"/>
</a>
To pass through mostly unaltered (it gained a rel="nofollow"):
<a href="http://www.google.com/" rel="nofollow">
<img src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/accounts/ui/logo_2x.png"/>
</a>
The primary purpose of bluemonday is to take potentially unsafe user generated
content (from things like Markdown, HTML WYSIWYG tools, etc) and make it safe
for you to put on your website.
It protects sites against XSS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting)
and other malicious content that a user interface may deliver. There are many
vectors for an XSS attack (https://www.owasp.org/index.php/XSS_Filter_Evasion_Cheat_Sheet)
and the safest thing to do is to sanitize user input against a known safe list
of HTML elements and attributes.
Note: You should always run bluemonday after any other processing.
If you use blackfriday (https://github.com/russross/blackfriday) or
Pandoc (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/) then bluemonday should be run after
these steps. This ensures that no insecure HTML is introduced later in your
process.
bluemonday is heavily inspired by both the OWASP Java HTML Sanitizer
(https://code.google.com/p/owasp-java-html-sanitizer/) and the HTML Purifier
(http://htmlpurifier.org/).
We ship two default policies, one is bluemonday.StrictPolicy() and can be
thought of as equivalent to stripping all HTML elements and their attributes as
it has nothing on it's whitelist.
The other is bluemonday.UGCPolicy() and allows a broad selection of HTML
elements and attributes that are safe for user generated content. Note that
this policy does not whitelist iframes, object, embed, styles, script, etc.
The essence of building a policy is to determine which HTML elements and
attributes are considered safe for your scenario. OWASP provide an XSS
prevention cheat sheet ( https://www.google.com/search?q=xss+prevention+cheat+sheet )
to help explain the risks, but essentially:
1. Avoid whitelisting anything other than plain HTML elements
2. Avoid whitelisting `script`, `style`, `iframe`, `object`, `embed`, `base`
elements
3. Avoid whitelisting anything other than plain HTML elements with simple
values that you can match to a regexp
