Bug #94810
closedBug #94787: Tracking issue related to HTML sanitization issues
Unable to disable html sanitize
0%
Description
Currently it is not possible to disable the html sanitize functionality.
Tested with the <f:format.html>...</f:format.html> function
When I set lib.parseFunc.htmlSanitize = 0 and lib.parseFunc_RTE.htmlSanitize = 0 the html is still sanitized.
This can be testen with:
<f:format.html><form action=""><input name="test" /></form></f:format.html>
The issue seems to be in the class: TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject\ContentObjectRenderer
in the function parseFunc
.
Line: if ($conf['htmlSanitize'] ?? true) {

Where is that <form action=""><input name="test" /></form>
coming from? Did you allow to add HTML forms in CKEditor?!
From my point of view, given <form>
example is markup that shall be used as is, thus, it should be <f:format.raw>
<form action=""><input name="test" /></form></f:format.raw> instead of
<f:format.html>@.
Besides that, the very example you used, was encoded in previous versions (before TYPO3 v11.3.2, v10.4.19, v9.5.29), so even without having the HTML sanitizer in place
<f:format.html><form action=""><input name="test" /></form></f:format.html>
produced in older/previous versions already
<form action=""><input name="test" /></form>

The html is not added by users.
We have some html code generated by a standalone fluid view that is rendered this way.
Using the format raw viewhelper is better in this situation and I will replace the viewhelper.
However the disable problem still seems to be there when changing the htmlSanitize value.

Yes, in case the block contains only generated markup (e.g. by Fluid template or view-helper), using <f:format.raw>
is the better alternative - in that scenario not sanitization would happen.
However the disable problem still seems to be there when changing the htmlSanitize value.
I successfully tested the following again (f:format.html
uses TypoScript path lib.parseFunc_RTE
per default):
<f:format.html><b onmouseover="alert(1)">Just testing</b></f:format.html> // + having TypoScript `lib.parseFunc_RTE.htmlSanitize = 0` // ... as a result XSS `onmouseover` is not removed
However, there was one case with parseFuncTSPath=""
, when it was not possible to disable HTML sanitization:
<f:format.html parseFuncTSPath=""><b onmouseover="alert(1)">Just testing</b></f:format.html> // in this case NO TypoScript path is used and thus, it cannot be disabled via TypoScript
... that's why a change in issue #94786 introduces a new `htmlSanitize` argument for that view-helper - it is still pending at the time of writing this comment.
<f:format.html parseFuncTSPath="" htmlSanitize="0"><b onmouseover="alert(1)">Just testing</b></f:format.html> // ... as a result XSS `onmouseover` is not removed

Thanks for the information. With the introduction of this new viewhelper this issue is resolved.

Will this new ViewHelper be included in the upcoming 9.5.30/10.4.20 point release?
Apart from that, we have exactly the same problem. Disabling HTML sanitization globally in Typoscript just doesn't work at all, using <format.raw> doesn't help as well. We still have a couple of tags in our Fluid templates like <script>, <input> or <figure> that are rendered in HTML entities, making some pages unusable and we just don't get it to work with the suggestions given so far! Funny thing is, some templates seem to work, some don't, but we couldn't figure out so far the reason for this...
Couldn't you make the list of blocked tags/elements configurable via Typoscript, just like styles.content.allowTags? Unfortunately, that setting is ignored as well... :-/
(9.5.29 / 10.4.19 seems to me like the most frustrating / work-generating TYPO3 point release update in years, at least if you have to to with Frontend / Fluid templating!)

Yes, the changes of #94825 and #94786 are target to be released in the next versions (11.3, 10.4, 9.5 & probably ELTS as well).

Having <script>
and co sanitized is a signal, that some top-level processing is causing that - probably search for TypoScript parseFunc
calls of <f:format.html>
wrapping in template files. Besides that, #94837 introduces stack-trace debugging in case tags/attrs get sanitized.

Unfortunately not, because e.g. just having allowTags = img
did not mitigate cross-site scripting, this setting actually allowed <img src="wrong" onerror="alert(1)">
, just try it in previous TYPO3 versions. Besides that attr wild-cards likeĀ data-*
or aria-*
cannot be defined, and there was no checks for attribute values at all.

Believe me, I personally did not expect that many messed up websites. The interesting things is, that there were sites that did not have any problem at all with HTML sanitizer. How do you explain that?
