Sanitizing CSS in Rails

问题:

I want to allow the users of a web app that I'm building to write their own CSS in order to customize their profile page.

However I am aware of this opening up for many security risks, i e background: url('javascript:alert("Got your cookies! " + document.cookies').

Hence I am looking for a solution to sanitize the CSS while still allowing as much CSS functionality as possible for my users.

So my questions if anyone anyone knows of a gem or a plugin to handles this? I've googled my brains out already so any tips would be really appreciated!

回答1:

Rails has a built-in css sanitizer

See http://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/SanitizeHelper/sanitize_css and its parent http://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/SanitizeHelper/sanitize

> ActionController::Base.helpers.sanitize_css('background:#fff')
=> "background: #fff;" 
> ActionController::Base.helpers.sanitize_css('javascript:alert("garr");')
=> ""

There's also some code called css_file_sanitize: https://github.com/courtenay/css_file_sanitize

Comparing it to the Rails sanitize command I find that both use regular expressions to strip out undesirable portions of the CSS.

Here's the source for css_file_sanitize: https://github.com/courtenay/css_file_sanitize/blob/master/lib/css_sanitize.rb

Here's the source for Rails sanitize: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/actionpack/lib/action_controller/vendor/html-scanner/html/sanitizer.rb
