interface EditorXssFilterInterface (View source)

Defines an interface for text editor XSS (Cross-site scripting) filters.

Methods

static string
filterXss(string $html, FilterFormatInterface $format, FilterFormatInterface $original_format = NULL)

Filters HTML to prevent XSS attacks when a user edits it in a text editor.

Details

static string filterXss(string $html, FilterFormatInterface $format, FilterFormatInterface $original_format = NULL)

Filters HTML to prevent XSS attacks when a user edits it in a text editor.

Should filter as minimally as possible, only to remove XSS attack vectors.

Is only called when:

  • loading a non-XSS-safe text editor for a $format that contains a filter preventing XSS attacks (a FilterInterface::TYPE_HTML_RESTRICTOR filter): if the output is safe, it should also be safe to edit.
  • loading a non-XSS-safe text editor for a $format that doesn't contain a filter preventing XSS attacks, but we're switching from a previous text format ($original_format is not NULL) that did prevent XSS attacks: if the output was previously safe, it should be safe to switch to another text format and edit.

Parameters

string $html

The HTML to be filtered.

FilterFormatInterface $format

The text format configuration entity. Provides context based upon which one may want to adjust the filtering.

FilterFormatInterface $original_format

(optional) The original text format configuration entity (when switching text formats/editors). Also provides context based upon which one may want to adjust the filtering.

Return Value

string

The filtered HTML that cannot cause any XSSes anymore.
