IIUC, the current version of [HTML::Scrubber][] allows for the `object` tags to be either enabled or disabled entirely. However, while `object` can be used to add *code* (which is indeed a potential security hole) to a document, reading [Objects, Images, and Applets in HTML documents][objects-html] reveals that the “dangerous” are not all the `object`s, but rather those having the following attributes:
|
||||
|
||||
classid %URI; #IMPLIED -- identifies an implementation --
|
||||
codebase %URI; #IMPLIED -- base URI for classid, data, archive--
|
||||
codetype %ContentType; #IMPLIED -- content type for code --
|
||||
archive CDATA #IMPLIED -- space-separated list of URIs --
|
||||
|
||||
It seems that the following attributes are, OTOH, safe:
|
||||
|
||||
declare (declare) #IMPLIED -- declare but don't instantiate flag --
|
||||
data %URI; #IMPLIED -- reference to object's data --
|
||||
type %ContentType; #IMPLIED -- content type for data --
|
||||
standby %Text; #IMPLIED -- message to show while loading --
|
||||
height %Length; #IMPLIED -- override height --
|
||||
width %Length; #IMPLIED -- override width --
|
||||
usemap %URI; #IMPLIED -- use client-side image map --
|
||||
name CDATA #IMPLIED -- submit as part of form --
|
||||
tabindex NUMBER #IMPLIED -- position in tabbing order --
|
||||
|
||||
Should the former attributes be *scrubbed* while the latter left intact, the use of the `object` tag would seemingly become safe.
|
||||
|
||||
Note also that allowing `object` (either restricted in such a way or not) automatically solves the [[/todo/svg]] issue.
|
||||
|
||||
For Ikiwiki, it may be nice to be able to restrict [URI's][URI] (as required by the `data` and `usemap` attributes) to, say, relative and `data:` (as per [RFC 2397][]) ones as well, though it requires some more consideration.
