Microsoft Web Protection Library (STILL IN DRAFT)
Microsoft Web Protection Library or MWPL for short, provides a set of Microsoft .NET assemblies that help you to protect Web applications against Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and SQL Injection attacks. At the heart of MVPL, there are two built-in mechanisms to protect your applications. In one hand there is a library to protect against XSS called AntiXSS Library and in the other hand there is Security Engine Runtime that protects against XSS and SQL Injection attacks.
AntiXSS Library V4.2.1
Microsoft AntiXSS Library helps you to protect against Cross Site Scripting. This library provides encoding functions for input, including HTML attributes, CSS and JavaScript. AntiXSS implements a whitelisting approach, which means that any character that is not part of the white list,is going to be encoded using rules based on the encoding type. Namely, AntiXSS provides two interesting approaches : 1. It works as an encoding library for the following types:
- HTMLEncode
- URLEncode
- JavaScriptEncode
- VisualBasicScriptEncode
- XMLEncode
2. It works as a HTML Sanitization library by :
- Providing a white-list based sanitization
- It sanitizes HTML pages or fragments
How to get AntiXSS library
MWPL can be found at CodePlex https://wpl.codeplex.com. However, you can get AntiXSS from NuGet https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=AntiXSS. From Visual Studio and by using NuGet plug-in, you can add the library to your application :
There are some circumstances that you would like to allow some html tags as a part of the user input, for example in a forum or a blog post, you should provide a way that end users can enter some html tags to improve the content.
