给不可信的HTML消毒（以防止XSS跨站点脚本攻击）

2019独角兽企业重金招聘Python工程师标准>>>

Problem

You want to allow untrusted users to supply HTML for output on your website (e.g. as comment submission). You need to clean this HTML to avoid cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Solution

Use the jsoup HTML Cleaner with a configuration specified by a Whitelist.

String unsafe = 
  "<p><a href='http://example.com/' onclick='stealCookies()'>Link</a></p>";
String safe = Jsoup.clean(unsafe, Whitelist.basic());
// now: <p><a href="http://example.com/" rel="nofollow">Link</a></p>

Discussion

A cross-site scripting attack against your site can really ruin your day, not to mention your users'. Many sites avoid XSS attacks by not allowing HTML in user submitted content: they enforce plain text only, or use an alternative markup syntax like wiki-text or Markdown. These are seldom optimal solutions for the user, as they lower expressiveness, and force the user to learn a new syntax.

A better solution may be to use a rich text WYSIWYG editor (like CKEditor or TinyMCE). These output HTML, and allow the user to work visually. However, their validation is done on the client side: you need to apply a server-side validation to clean up the input and ensure the HTML is safe to place on your site. Otherwise, an attacker can avoid the client-side Javascript validation and inject unsafe HMTL directly into your site

The jsoup whitelist sanitizer works by parsing the input HTML (in a safe, sand-boxed environment), and then iterating through the parse tree and only allowing known-safe tags and attributes (and values) through into the cleaned output.

It does not use regular expressions, which are inappropriate for this task.

jsoup provides a range of Whitelist configurations to suit most requirements; they can be modified if necessary, but take care.

The cleaner is useful not only for avoiding XSS, but also in limiting the range of elements the user can provide: you may be OK with textual a, strong elements, but not structural div ortable elements.
