Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Attack
@smtaha512
Let's go to few years back

@smtaha512
Security Contexts
@smtaha512
Security Contexts:
is a URL that will be loaded and executed as code, for example, in <script src>.
is used when interpreting a value as HTML, for example, when binding to innerHtml.
used for URL properties, such as <a href>.
-
HTML
-
Style
-
URL
-
Resource URL
is used when binding CSS into the style property.
Trusting safe values
@smtaha512
To mark a value as trusted
- Inject `DomSanitizer`
- Call any one of the following
- bypassSecurityTrust
- bypassSecurityTrust
- bypassSecurityTrust
- bypassSecurityTrust
- bypassSecurityTrust
Html
Script
Style
Url
ResourceUrl
These methods should be avoid as much as possible
@smtaha512
What you can do to avoid XSS?
@smtaha512
Do not call the DOM APIs directly
@smtaha512
Avoid libraries that manipulate DOM, like jQuery
@smtaha512
Try to avoid byPassSecurityTrust* methods
@smtaha512
This is just start...
