defmodule StripJs do
@moduledoc ~s"""
StripJs is an Elixir module for stripping executable JavaScript from
blocks of HTML and CSS.
It handles:
* `` and `` tags
* Event handler attributes such as `onclick="..."`
* `javascript:...` URLs in HTML and CSS
* CSS `expression(...)` directives
* HTML entity attacks (like `<script>`)
## Installation
Add `strip_js` to your application's `mix.exs`:
def application do
[applications: [:strip_js]]
end
def deps do
[{:strip_js, "~> #{StripJs.Mixfile.project[:version]}"}]
end
""" <> ~S"""
## Usage
`clean_html/2` removes all JS vectors from an HTML string:
iex> html = ""
iex> StripJs.clean_html(html)
""
`clean_css/2` removes all JS vectors from a CSS string:
iex> css = "body { background-image: url('javascript:alert()'); }"
iex> StripJs.clean_css(css)
"body { background-image: url('removed_by_strip_js:alert()'); }"
StripJs relies on the [Floki](https://github.com/philss/floki)
HTML parser library, which is built using
[Mochiweb](https://github.com/mochi/mochiweb).
StripJs provides a `clean_html_tree/1` function to strip JS from
`Floki.parse/1`- and `:mochiweb_html.parse/1`- style HTML parse trees.
## Bugs and Limitations
The brokenness of invalid HTML may be amplified by `clean_html/2`.
In uncommon cases, innocent CSS which very closely resembles
JS-injection techniques may be mangled by `clean_css/2`.
StripJs may not block 100% of executable JavaScript, though it gets
quite close. If you believe there are JS injection methods not
covered by this library, please submit an issue with a test case!
