OWASP HTML Sanitizer Project

The OWASP HTML Sanitizer is a fast and easy to configure HTML Sanitizer written in Java which lets you include HTML authored by third-parties in your web application while protecting against XSS. The existing dependencies are on guava and JSR 305. The other jars are only needed by the test suite. The JSR 305 dependency is a compile-only dependency, only needed for annotations. This code was written with security best practices in mind, has an extensive test suite, and has undergone adversarial security review. A great place to get started using the OWASP Java HTML Sanitizer is here: https://code.google.com/p/owasp-java-html-sanitizer/wiki/GettingStarted.

Benefits

  • Provides 4X the speed of AntiSamy sanitization in DOM mode and 2X the speed of AntiSamy in SAX mode.
  • Very easy to use. It allows for simple programmatic POSITIVE policy configuration (see below). No XML config.
  • Actively maintained by Mike Samuel from Google's AppSec team!
  • Passing 95+% of AntiSamy's unit tests plus many more.
  • This is code from the Caja project that was donated by Google. It is rather high performance and low memory utilization.
  • Java 1.5+

Licensing

The OWASP HTML Sanitizer is free to use and is dual licensed under the Apache 2 License and the New BSD License.

You can use prepackaged policies here: http://owasp-java-html-sanitizer.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/distrib/javadoc/org/owasp/html/Sanitizers.html. 

PolicyFactory policy = Sanitizers.FORMATTING.and(Sanitizers.LINKS);
String safeHTML = policy.sanitize(untrustedHTML);

or the tests show how to configure your own policy here: http://code.google.com/p/owasp-java-html-sanitizer/source/browse/trunk/src/tests/org/owasp/html/HtmlPolicyBuilderTest.java 

PolicyFactory policy = new HtmlPolicyBuilder()
   .allowElements("a")
   .allowUrlProtocols("https")
   .allowAttributes("href").onElements("a")
   .requireRelNofollowOnLinks()
   .build();
String safeHTML = policy.sanitize(untrustedHTML);

or you can write custom policies to do things like changing h1s to divs with a certain class: 

PolicyFactory policy = new HtmlPolicyBuilder()
   .allowElements("p")
   .allowElements(
       new ElementPolicy() {
         public String apply(String elementName, List<String> attrs) {
           attrs.add("class");
           attrs.add("header-" + elementName);
           return "div";
         }
       }, "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6"))
   .build();
String safeHTML = policy.sanitize(untrustedHTML);
