Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Concepts and Usage

Client-side, or DOM-based, XSS attacks happen when data controlled by a user (such as that input into a form field) reaches a function that can execute that data. These functions are known as injection sinks. DOM-based XSS attacks happen when a user is able to write arbitrary JavaScript code and have it executed by one of these functions.

The Trusted Types API locks down risky injection sinks, requiring you to process the data before passing it to one of these functions. If you use a string, then the browser will throw a TypeError and prevent the use of the function.

Trusted Types works alongside Content-Security Policy with the trusted-types and require-trusted-types-for directives.

Injection Sinks

The Trusted Types API locks down injection sinks that can act as a vector for DOM-XSS attacks. An injection sink is any Web API function that should only be called with trusted, validated or sanitized input. Examples of injection sinks include:

  • Functions that insert HTML into the document such as Element.innerHTML, Element.outerHTML, or Document.write.
  • Functions that create a new same-origin Document with caller-controlled markup such as DOMParser.parseFromString.
  • Functions that execute code such as Global_Objects/eval.
  • Setters for Element attributes that accept a URL of code to load or execute.

Trusted Types will force you to process the data before passing it to any injection sink rather than use a string. This ensures that the data is trustworthy.

[!IMPORTANT] Since the document cannot directly access HTTP headers, this polyfill requires either <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy"> or a data-trusted-policies attribute to be set on <html>.

The Trusted Types API gives web developers a way to lock down the insecure parts of the DOM API to prevent client-side Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
