> Move to owasp sanitizer library
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-7231
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7231
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: XSS Protection API
> Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
> Assignee: Tatyana
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: gsoc2018, java, mentor
>
> While looking at the extensive dependency list of the XSS module (which are
> all caused by the embedded owasp.org artifacts), I found out that the
> versions we use are outdated.
> So I think we should update those to the latest.
> Furthermore, the embedded antisamy library does not look to be maintained
> anymore
> (https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_AntiSamy_Project)
> instead the html sanitizer looks much fresher and claims to be faster
> https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Java_HTML_Sanitizer_Project
> I think we should switch. Quick analysis:
> Pros:
> Actively maintained
> Much faster
> Lightweight (also from a dependency POV)
> Cons:
> Incompatible (and runtime-object based) configuration
> Not completely feature equivalent (but close enough and better in some
> aspects)
> Some investigation is needed on how
> a) filter rules can be configured (e.g. sling configurations, file based,
> code bundle, ... ?)
> b) existing configurations can be migrated
