🛡️ Sentinel: [HIGH] Sanitize user input to prevent XSS in DescriptionPreview#8
🛡️ Sentinel: [HIGH] Sanitize user input to prevent XSS in DescriptionPreview#8
Conversation
This commit addresses a HIGH severity XSS vulnerability in the DescriptionPreview component where HTML inputs, such as those translated from BBCode, were being rendered raw via `dangerouslySetInnerHTML`. We now use `DOMPurify` to ensure safe HTML and prevent cross-site scripting attacks, executing it only on the client-side to prevent SSR issues.

Code Review
This pull request aims to fix a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability by introducing dompurify to sanitize user-provided descriptions. However, the current implementation critically bypasses sanitization during Server-Side Rendering (SSR), leaving the application vulnerable to XSS on initial page load, especially in frameworks like Astro. The sanitization logic needs to be updated to function correctly in both client-side and server-side environments. The dependency updates are appropriate.

The sanitizePreviewHtml function, specifically the logic from lines 11-14, currently bypasses sanitization during Server-Side Rendering (SSR) because it relies on window being defined. This allows unsanitized HTML to be returned, creating a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability on initial page load, especially in frameworks like Astro. To properly address this, ensure sanitization is performed in both client and server environments. Consider using a library like isomorphic-dompurify or providing a DOM implementation to DOMPurify on the server.

🚨 Severity: HIGH
💡 Vulnerability: The
DescriptionPreview.tsxcomponent useddangerouslySetInnerHTMLto render unescaped HTML content that originates from external sources or converted BBCode without proper sanitization.🎯 Impact: If a malicious payload containing
<script>or event handlers was uploaded, it would be executed when rendering the description, leading to a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.🔧 Fix: Introduced the
dompurifylibrary and utilizedDOMPurify.sanitize()before passing the content todangerouslySetInnerHTML. A check fortypeof window !== 'undefined'ensures it does not crash during Server-Side Rendering (SSR).✅ Verification: Verified by confirming the build command succeeds (
npm run build) and the related vitest test runs correctly without regressions. No new failing tests were introduced.Fixes #security
