Mr. NiceGuy Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Hi, I am working on a site where people can enter iframes which will be saved and displayed to other users. I want to prevent XSS but at the same time I want that any site can be embedded as iframe. I want to prevent something like <iframe src="javascript:alert(0)"></iframe> but it should still be possible to use any src url for the iframe. I know that one can use the sanitizer with htmlpurifier options to only allow safe origins (say youtube, vimeo). echo $sanitizer->purify($str, $options = ["HTML.SafeIframe" =>true, "URI.SafeIframeRegexp" =>'%^https://(www.youtube.com/embed/|player.vimeo.com/video/)%'] ); Is there are smart way to have a minimal level of protection whilst allowing any url for the iframe? Expanding the RegEx in the options obviously works but is this already enough? echo $sanitizer->purify($str, $options = ["HTML.SafeIframe" =>true, "URI.SafeIframeRegexp" =>'%^https://%'] ); Would love to hear some other opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
