Description-en: cleans HTML and CSS of scripting, executable contents and XSS attacks
HTML::Defang accepts an input HTML and/or CSS string and removes any
executable code including scripting, embedded objects, applets, etc.,
and neutralises any XSS attacks. A whitelist based approach is used
which means only HTML known to be safe is allowed through.
.
HTML::Defang uses a custom html tag parser. The parser has been
designed and tested to work with nasty real world html and to try and
emulate as close as possible what browsers actually do with strange
looking constructs. The test suite has been built based on examples
from a range of sources such as and
to ensure that as many as
possible XSS attack scenarios have been dealt with.
