By default it does <strong>not</strong> -run globally since it requires a bit of processing overhead, and since you may not need it in all cases.</p> - -<p>The XSS filter looks for commonly used techniques to trigger Javascript or other types of code that attempt to hijack cookies -or do other malicious things. If anything disallowed is encountered it is rendered safe by converting the data to character entities.</p> - -<p> -Note: This function should only be used to deal with data upon submission. It's not something that should be used for general runtime processing since it requires a fair amount of processing overhead.</p> - - -<p>To filter data through the XSS filter use this function:</p> - -<h2>$this->security->xss_clean()</h2> - -<p>Here is an usage example:</p> - -<code>$data = $this->security->xss_clean($data);</code> - -<p>If you want the filter to run automatically every time it encounters POST or COOKIE data you can enable it by opening your -<kbd>application/config/config.php</kbd> file and setting this:</p> - -<code>$config['global_xss_filtering'] = TRUE;</code> - -<p>Note: If you use the form validation class, it gives you the option of XSS filtering as well.</p> - -<p>An optional second parameter, <dfn>is_image</dfn>, allows this function to be used to test images for potential XSS attacks, useful for file upload security. When this second parameter is set to <dfn>TRUE</dfn>, instead of returning an altered string, the function returns TRUE if the image is safe, and FALSE if it contained potentially malicious information that a browser may attempt to execute.</p> - -<code>if ($this->security->xss_clean($file, TRUE) === FALSE)<br /> -{<br /> - // file failed the XSS test<br /> -}</code> - - -<h2>$this->security->sanitize_filename()</h2> - -<p>When accepting filenames from user input, it is best to sanitize them to prevent directory traversal and other security related issues. To do so, use the <dfn>sanitize_filename()</dfn> method of the Security class. Here is an example:</p> - -<code>$filename = $this->security->sanitize_filename($this->input->post('filename'));</code> - -<p>If it is acceptable for the user input to include relative paths, e.g. <kbd>file/in/some/approved/folder.txt</kbd>, you can set the second optional parameter, - <samp>$relative_path</samp> to TRUE.</p> - -<code>$filename = $this->security->sanitize_filename($this->input->post('filename'), TRUE);</code> - -<!-- @todo write docs for CSRF methods --> - -<h2>Cross-site request forgery (CSRF)</h2> - -<p>You can enable csrf protection by opening your <kbd>application/config/config.php</kbd> file and setting this:</p> -<code>$config['csrf_protection'] = TRUE;</code> - -<p>If you use the <a href="../helpers/form_helper.html">form helper</a> the <var>form_open()</var> function will automatically insert a hidden csrf field in your forms.</p> - -<p>Select URIs can be whitelisted from csrf protection (for example API endpoints expecting externally POSTed content). You can add these URIs by editing the 'csrf_exclude_uris' config parameter:</p> -<code>$config['csrf_exclude_uris'] = array('api/person/add');</code> - -</div> -<!-- END CONTENT --> - - -<div id="footer"> -<p> -Previous Topic: <a href="pagination.html">Pagination Class</a> - · -<a href="#top">Top of Page</a> · -<a href="../index.html">User Guide Home</a> · -Next Topic: <a href="sessions.html">Session Class</a> -</p> -<p><a href="http://codeigniter.com">CodeIgniter</a> · Copyright © 2006 - 2011 · <a href="http://ellislab.com/">EllisLab, Inc.</a></p> -</div> - -</body> -</html>
