This plugin is enabled by default. It sanitizes the html on pages it renders
|
||
|
|
to avoid XSS attacks and the like.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It excludes all html tags and attributes except for those that are
|
||
|
|
whitelisted using the same lists as used by Mark Pilgrim's Universal Feed
|
||
|
|
Parser, documented at <http://feedparser.org/docs/html-sanitization.html>.
|
||
|
|
Notably it strips `style`, `link`, and the `style` attribute.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It uses the HTML::Scrubber perl module to perform its html
|
||
|
|
sanitisation, and this perl module also deals with various entity encoding
|
||
|
|
tricks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
While I believe that this makes ikiwiki as resistant to malicious html
|
||
|
|
content as anything else on the web, I cannot guarantee that it will
|
||
|
|
actually protect every user of every browser from every browser security
|
||
|
|
hole, badly designed feature, etc. I can provide NO WARRANTY, like it says
|
||
|
|
in ikiwiki's [GPL](GPL) license.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The web's security model is *fundamentally broken*; ikiwiki's html
|
||
|
|
sanitisation is only a patch on the underlying gaping hole that is your web
|
||
|
|
browser.

Some examples of embedded javascript that won't be let through when this
|
||
|
|
plugin is active:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <span style="background: url(javascript:window.location='http://example.org/')">test</span>
|
||
|
|
* <span style="any: expression(window.location='http://example.org/')">test</span>
