1
+ FIXME: THIS README IS NOT UP-TO-DATE.
2
+
3
+ This plugin provides XSS protection for views coded in HAML and RHTML.
4
+
5
+ ERB templates are sometimes used for HTML, and sometimes for
6
+ other kinds of languages (SQL, email templates, YAML etc.).
7
+ XSS Shield protects only those templates with .rhtml extension,
8
+ leaving templates with .erb extension unprotected.
9
+
10
+ === Quick start ===
11
+
12
+ Assuming you're using HAML for all your templates.
13
+
14
+ * Install plugin.
15
+ * Edit all your layout files and change:
16
+ = @content_for_layout
17
+ = yield(:foo) # Foo being usually :js or :css
18
+ to:
19
+ = @content_for_layout.mark_as_xss_protected
20
+ = yield(:foo).mark_as_xss_protected
21
+ * By this point your application should be runnanble,
22
+ but might need some tweaking here and there to avoid potential
23
+ double-escaping.
24
+
25
+ === How it works ===
26
+
27
+ It works by subclassing String into SafeString.
28
+ When HAML engine seems a "= foo" fragment it check if result of executing "foo"
29
+ is a SafeString. If it is - it copies it to the output, if it's anything else
30
+ (String, Integer, nil and so on) it HTML-escapes it first.
31
+
32
+ To avoid double-escaping output of h is a SafeString, as is everything you
33
+ mark as XSS-protected.
34
+ = h(@foo)
35
+ = @foo # fully equivalent to h(@foo)
36
+ = "X <br /> Y".mark_as_xss_protected
37
+
38
+ It would be cumbersome to require mark_as_xss_protected every time you use
39
+ some helper like render :partial or link_to, so some helpers are modified
40
+ to return SafeString.
41
+
42
+ = render :partial => "foo"
43
+ = link_to "Bar", :action => :bar
44
+
45
+ If you trust your helpers, make them as XSS-protected:
46
+
47
+ module Some::Module
48
+ mark_helpers_as_xss_protected :text_field, :check_box
49
+ end
50
+
51
+ Because it is not possible to alter syntactic keywords like yield
52
+ or instance variables like @content_for_layout to mark them automatically
53
+ as secure, layout files need some manual tweaking.
54
+
55
+ === Other template engines ===
56
+
57
+ If a templates uses some templating engine other than HAML or ERB,
58
+ or it uses ERB but has extension .erb not .rhtml, XSS Shield does not protect it.
59
+
60
+ However some helpers like link_to and button_to are patched by XSS Shield to
61
+ make them more secure, and this extra security will be there even when used
62
+ in an otherwise unprotected context.
63
+
64
+ For example with XSS shield
65
+ link_to "A & B", "/foo"
66
+ will return (marked as safe):
67
+ '<a href="/foo">A &amp; B</a>'
68
+ not (plain String):
69
+ '<a href="/foo">A & B</a>'
70
+
71
+ Also - RHTML protection only works with default ERB engine (erb.rb from Ruby base).
72
+ If you use some alternative ERB engine it probably won't work.
73
+
74
+ Adding support for alternative templating engine should be relatively straightforward.
75
+ It's mostly a matter of changing to_s to to_s_xss_protected in a few places
76
+ in their source.
