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 🙏

express-sanitizer

v1.0.6

Published

Express middleware for the sanitizer module.

Readme

npm Build Status npm dependencies Known Vulnerabilities

Notice: The primary dependency for this library hasn't been updated in 5 years. Before using this library, consider other options such as express-validator.

express-sanitizer

An express middleware for Caja-HTML-Sanitizer, which wraps Google Caja sanitizer.

A useful complement to the express-validator -- to fill a gap now that XSS sanitization support has been removed from that module's parent node-validator.

Installation

yarn add express-sanitizer

or

npm install --save express-sanitizer

Usage

Import the module

const expressSanitizer = require('express-sanitizer');

Mount the middleware below the express.json() (or, prior to express v4.16, bodyParser()) instantiation and above mounting of your routes

app.use(express.json());

// Mount express-sanitizer middleware here
app.use(expressSanitizer());

app.post('/', function(req, res, next) {
  // replace an HTTP posted body property with the sanitized string
  const sanitizedString = req.sanitize(req.body.propertyToSanitize);
  // send the response -- res.body.sanitized = " world"
  res.send({ sanitized: sanitizedString });
});

Output

The string

'<script>hello</script> world'

will be sanitized to ' world'.

Limitations

This is a basic implementation of Caja-HTML-Sanitizer with the specific purpose of mitigating against persistent XSS risks (note the borderline abandonware comments in that repo!).

Caveats

This module trusts the dependencies to provide basic persistent XSS risk mitigation. A user of this package should review all packages and make their own decision on security and fitness for purpose.
