# :secret: AntiXSS
"Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in Web applications. XSS enables
attackers to inject client-side script into Web pages viewed by other users. A cross-site scripting vulnerability may be
used by attackers to bypass access controls such as the same origin policy. Cross-site scripting carried out on websites
accounted for roughly 84% of all security vulnerabilities documented by Symantec as of 2007." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting
### DEMO:
[http://anti-xss-demo.suckup.de/](http://anti-xss-demo.suckup.de/)
### NOTES:
1) Use [filter_input()](http://php.net/manual/de/function.filter-input.php) - don't use GLOBAL-Array (e.g. $_SESSION, $_GET, $_POST, $_SERVER) directly
2) Use [html-sanitizer](https://github.com/tgalopin/html-sanitizer) or [HTML Purifier](http://htmlpurifier.org/) if you need a more configurable solution
3) Add "Content Security Policy's" -> [Introduction to Content Security Policy](http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/security/content-security-policy/)
4) DO NOT WRITE YOUR OWN REGEX TO PARSE HTML!
5) READ THIS TEXT -> [XSS (Cross Site Scripting) Prevention Cheat Sheet](https://github.com/OWASP/CheatSheetSeries/blob/master/cheatsheets/Cross_Site_Scripting_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet.md)
6) TEST THIS TOOL -> [Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP)](https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy)
### Disable automatic encoding changes
This package depends on `voku/portable-utf8`, which sets `default_charset` to `UTF-8` via `ini_set()` during autoloading.
If you need to prevent this behavior, define the following constant **before** loading the Composer autoloader:
```php
define('PORTABLE_UTF8__DISABLE_AUTO_ENCODING', true);
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
```
### Install via "composer require"
```shell
composer require voku/anti-xss
```
### Usage:
```php
use voku\helper\AntiXSS;
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; // example path
$antiXss = new AntiXSS();
```
Example 1: (HTML Character)
```php
$harm_string = "Hello, i try to alert('Hack'); your site";
$harmless_string = $antiXss->xss_clean($harm_string);
// Hello, i try to alert('Hack'); your site
```
Example 2: (Hexadecimal HTML Character)
```php
$harm_string = "";
$harmless_string = $antiXss->xss_clean($harm_string);
//
```
Example 3: (Unicode Hex Character)
```php
$harm_string = "CLICK";
$harmless_string = $antiXss->xss_clean($harm_string);
// CLICK
```
Example 4: (Unicode Character)
```php
$harm_string = "CLICK";
$harmless_string = $antiXss->xss_clean($harm_string);
// CLICK
```
Example 5.1: (non Inline CSS)
```php
$harm_string = '';
$harmless_string = $antiXss->xss_clean($harm_string);
//
```
Example 5.2: (with Inline CSS)
```php
$harm_string = '';
$antiXss->removeEvilAttributes(array('style')); // allow style-attributes
$harmless_string = $antiXss->xss_clean($harm_string);
//
```
Example 6: (check if an string contains a XSS attack)
```php
$harm_string = "\x3cscript src=http://www.example.com/malicious-code.js\x3e\x3c/script\x3e";
$harmless_string = $antiXss->xss_clean($harm_string);
//
$antiXss->isXssFound();
// true
```
Example 7: (allow e.g. iframes)
```php
$harm_string = "";
$antiXss->removeEvilHtmlTags(array('iframe'));
$harmless_string = $antiXss->xss_clean($harm_string);
//
```
### Unit Test:
1) [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) is a prerequisite for running the tests.
```
composer install
```
2) The tests can be executed by running this command from the root directory:
```bash
XDEBUG_MODE=coverage ./vendor/bin/phpunit -c phpunit.xml
```
### Mutation testing with static analysis:
CI runs [Infection](https://infection.github.io/) with PHPStan integration on the PHP 8.3 pull-request job. This uses `infection.json5.dist`, requires 100% MSI on the mutated diff, and fails on any timed-out mutant so sanitizer loops cannot silently regress.
To run the same toolchain locally on PHP 8.3+:
```bash
composer config --no-plugins allow-plugins.infection/extension-installer true
composer require --dev phpstan/phpstan:^2.1 infection/infection:^0.32.7 --no-update
composer update
XDEBUG_MODE=coverage ./vendor/bin/infection --configuration=infection.json5.dist
```
### Prompt for future LLM dictionary checks
Use this prompt when you want an LLM to expand regression coverage around AntiXSS dictionaries without manually copying them into tests:
```text
You are working in the voku/anti-xss repository.
1. Run the current PHPUnit suite first with:
XDEBUG_MODE=coverage ./vendor/bin/phpunit -c phpunit.xml
2. Inspect /src/voku/helper/AntiXSS.php for dictionary-style private arrays such as:
- _never_allowed_on_events_afterwards
- _evil_attributes_regex
- _naughty_javascript_patterns
- _naughty_javascript_patterns_strict
- _never_allowed_str_afterwards
3. For each dictionary that has a safe generic assertion shape, add or extend provider-based tests that iterate every current entry automatically.
4. Prefer reflection-backed test providers over copying the source dictionaries into test files, so newly added entries are covered automatically.
5. For each dictionary, test both the intended blocking behavior and at least one important boundary rule when relevant (for example strict vs. whitespace-separated JavaScript callbacks, or executable vs. non-executable event attribute forms).
6. Make the smallest possible production change only if the expanded dictionary coverage exposes a real regression.
7. Re-run PHPUnit after each small step and continue iterating across the targeted dictionaries until you find and fix at least one real regression for the task, or confirm that the remaining dictionaries are already covered.

XSS Clean
Sanitizes data so that "Cross Site Scripting" hacks can be
prevented. This method does a fair amount of work but
it is extremely thorough, designed to prevent even the
most obscure XSS attempts. But keep in mind that nothing
is ever 100% foolproof...
Note: Should only be used to deal with data upon submission.
It's not something that should be used for general
runtime processing.
**Parameters:**
- `TXssCleanInput $str input data e.g. string or array of strings`
**Return:**
- `string|string[]`
