XSS enables attackers to inject client-side script into Web pages viewed by other users. A cross-site scripting vulnerability may be used by attackers to bypass access controls such as the same origin policy. Cross-site scripting carried out on websites accounted for roughly 84% of all security vulnerabilities documented by Symantec as of 2007." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting ### DEMO: [http://anti-xss-demo.suckup.de/](http://anti-xss-demo.suckup.de/) ### NOTES: 1) Use [filter_input()](http://php.net/manual/de/function.filter-input.php) - don't use GLOBAL-Array (e.g. $_SESSION, $_GET, $_POST, $_SERVER) directly 2) Use [html-sanitizer](https://github.com/tgalopin/html-sanitizer) or [HTML Purifier](http://htmlpurifier.org/) if you need a more configurable solution 3) Add "Content Security Policy's" -> [Introduction to Content Security Policy](http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/security/content-security-policy/) 4) DO NOT WRITE YOUR OWN REGEX TO PARSE HTML! 5) READ THIS TEXT -> [XSS (Cross Site Scripting) Prevention Cheat Sheet](https://github.com/OWASP/CheatSheetSeries/blob/master/cheatsheets/Cross_Site_Scripting_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet.md) 6) TEST THIS TOOL -> [Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP)](https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy) ### Install via "composer require" ```shell composer require voku/anti-xss ``` ### Usage: ```php use voku\helper\AntiXSS; require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; // example path $antiXss = new AntiXSS(); ``` Example 1: (HTML Character) ```php $harm_string = "Hello, i try to your site"; $harmless_string = $antiXss->xss_clean($harm_string); // Hello, i try to alert('Hack'); your site ``` Example 2: (Hexadecimal HTML Character) ```php $harm_string = ""; $harmless_string = $antiXss->xss_clean($harm_string); // ``` Example 3: (Unicode Hex Character) ```php $harm_string = "CLICK"; $harmless_string = $antiXss->xss_clean($harm_string); // CLICK ``` Example 4: (Unicode Character) ```php $harm_string = "CLICK"; $harmless_string = $antiXss->xss_clean($harm_string); // CLICK ``` Example 5.1: (non Inline CSS) ```php $harm_string = '
  • '; $harmless_string = $antiXss->xss_clean($harm_string); //
  • ``` Example 5.2: (with Inline CSS) ```php $harm_string = '
  • '; $antiXss->removeEvilAttributes(array('style')); // allow style-attributes $harmless_string = $antiXss->xss_clean($harm_string); //
  • ``` Example 6: (check if an string contains a XSS attack) ```php $harm_string = "\x3cscript src=http://www.example.com/malicious-code.js\x3e\x3c/script\x3e"; $harmless_string = $antiXss->xss_clean($harm_string); // $antiXss->isXssFound(); // true ``` Example 7: (allow e.g. iframes) ```php $harm_string = ""; $antiXss->removeEvilHtmlTags(array('iframe')); $harmless_string = $antiXss->xss_clean($harm_string); // ``` ### Unit Test: 1) [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) is a prerequisite for running the tests. ``` composer install ``` 2) The tests can be executed by running this command from the root directory: ```bash ./vendor/bin/phpunit ``` ## AntiXss methods

    Sanitizes data so that "Cross Site Scripting" hacks can be prevented. This method does a fair amount of work but it is extremely thorough, designed to prevent even the most obscure XSS attempts. But keep in mind that nothing is ever 100% foolproof...


    Note: Should only be used to deal with data upon submission. It's not something that should be used for general runtime processing.

    **Parameters:** - `TXssCleanInput $str

    input data e.g. string or array of strings

    ` **Return:** - `string|string[]` -------- ### Support For support and donations please visit [Github](https://github.com/voku/anti-xss/) | [Issues](https://github.com/voku/anti-xss/issues) | [PayPal](https://paypal.me/moelleken) | [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/voku).
