[[!template id=plugin name=htmlscrubber core=1 author="[[Joey]]"]] [[!tag type/html]] 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 . Notably it strips `style` and `link` tags, and the `style` attribute. All attributes that can be used to specify an url are checked to make sure that the url is in a known, safe scheme, and to block embedded javascript in such urls. It uses the [[!cpan 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]] 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. Note that enabling or disabling the htmlscrubber plugin also affects some other HTML-related functionality, such as whether [[meta]] allows potentially unsafe HTML tags. The `htmlscrubber_skip` configuration setting can be used to skip scrubbing of some pages. Set it to a [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]], such as "!*/Discussion", and pages matching that can have all the evil CSS, JavsScript, and unsafe html elements you like. One safe way to use this is to use [[lockedit]] to lock those pages, so only admins can edit them. ---- Some examples of embedded javascript that won't be let through when this plugin is active: * script tag test * CSS script test * entity-encoded CSS script test * entity-encoded CSS script test * click me
