# XSS Vulnerability Fix Documentation
2+
3+
## Overview
4+
This document describes the comprehensive XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) vulnerability fixes implemented in the AIxBlock platform to prevent malicious script execution through model descriptions.
5+
6+
## Vulnerabilities Fixed
7+
8+
### 1. Stored XSS in Model Description Fields
9+
**Location**: Multiple React components rendering `model_desc` field
10+
**Risk**: Critical - Allows execution of arbitrary JavaScript code
11+
**Impact**: Account takeover, data theft, session hijacking
12+
13+
### 2. Affected Components
14+
- `frontend/src/components/ModelMarketplace/ModelDetail/Index.tsx:881`
15+
- `frontend/src/pages/Project/Settings/ML/ModelDetail/Index.tsx:691`
16+
- `frontend/src/pages/Project/Settings/ML/ModelMarketPlace/ModelItem/Index.tsx:35`
17+
18+
## Fix Implementation
19+
20+
### 1. HTML Sanitization Utility
21+
**File**: `frontend/src/utils/sanitizeHtml.ts`
22+
23+
Created a comprehensive HTML sanitization utility using DOMPurify with strict security configurations:
24+
25+
```typescript
26+
// Key features:
27+
- Strict tag whitelist (only safe HTML tags)
28+
- Attribute filtering (removes dangerous attributes)
29+
- Event handler removal (onload, onclick, etc.)
30+
- Dangerous tag blocking (script, iframe, etc.)
31+
- Protocol validation (blocks javascript:, data:, etc.)
32+
```
33+
34+
### 2. Safe HTML Rendering
35+
**Function**: `createSafeHtml()`
36+
**Purpose**: Sanitizes HTML content before rendering with `dangerouslySetInnerHTML`
37+
38+
```typescript
39+
// Before (VULNERABLE):
40+
<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: item?.model_desc }} />
41+
42+
// After (SECURE):
43+
<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={createSafeHtml(item?.model_desc || '')} />
44+
```
45+
46+
### 3. Security Configuration
47+
**DOMPurify Settings**:
48+
- **ALLOWED_TAGS**: Only safe HTML tags (p, br, strong, em, etc.)
49+
- **FORBID_TAGS**: Dangerous tags (script, iframe, object, etc.)
50+
- **FORBID_ATTR**: Event handlers and dangerous attributes
51+
- **ALLOWED_ATTR**: Only safe attributes (href, title, alt, etc.)
52+
53+
## Dependencies Added
54+
55+
### DOMPurify
56+
```json
57+
{
58+
"dompurify": "^3.0.8"
59+
}
60+
```
61+
62+
**Purpose**: Industry-standard HTML sanitization library
63+
**Features**:
64+
- XSS protection
65+
- Configurable sanitization rules
66+
- High performance
67+
- Well-maintained and audited
68+
69+
## Testing the Fix
70+
71+
### 1. XSS Payload Testing
72+
Test with the following malicious payloads to verify they are sanitized:
73+
74+
```html
75+
<!-- SVG-based XSS (previously working) -->
76+
<svg onload=alert('XSS')>
77+
78+
<!-- Script tag injection -->
79+
<script>alert('XSS')</script>
80+
81+
<!-- Event handler injection -->
82+
<img src=x onerror=alert('XSS')>
83+
84+
<!-- JavaScript protocol -->
85+
<a href="javascript:alert('XSS')">Click me</a>
86+
87+
<!-- Data URI with JavaScript -->
88+
<iframe src="data:text/html,<script>alert('XSS')</script>"></iframe>
89+
```
90+
91+
### 2. Expected Results
92+
- **Before Fix**: JavaScript executes, showing alert popups
93+
- **After Fix**: Malicious content is sanitized, only safe HTML is rendered
94+
95+
### 3. Safe Content Testing
96+
Verify that legitimate HTML content still renders correctly:
97+
98+
```html
99+
<!-- These should work after sanitization -->
100+
<p>This is a <strong>bold</strong> description.</p>
101+
<h2>Model Features</h2>
102+
<ul><li>Feature 1</li><li>Feature 2</li></ul>
103+
<a href="https://example.com">Safe link</a>
104+
```
105+
106+
## Security Benefits
107+
108+
### 1. XSS Prevention
109+
- **Complete protection** against script injection
110+
- **Event handler removal** prevents onclick, onload, etc.
111+
- **Protocol validation** blocks javascript: and data: URIs
112+
- **Tag filtering** removes dangerous HTML elements
113+
114+
### 2. Content Preservation
115+
- **Safe HTML preserved** (bold, italic, links, lists)
116+
- **User experience maintained** for legitimate content
117+
- **Performance optimized** with efficient sanitization
118+
119+
### 3. Maintainability
120+
- **Centralized security** through utility functions
121+
- **Easy to update** sanitization rules
122+
- **TypeScript support** for type safety
123+
- **Comprehensive logging** for debugging
124+
125+
## Additional Security Measures
126+
127+
### 1. Input Validation
128+
Consider adding server-side validation for model descriptions:
129+
130+
```python
131+
# Backend validation example
132+
import bleach
133+
134+
def validate_model_description(description):
135+
# Sanitize on server side as well
136+
clean_description = bleach.clean(
137+
description,
138+
tags=['p', 'br', 'strong', 'em', 'u', 'b', 'i', 'span', 'div'],
139+
attributes={'a': ['href', 'title'], 'img': ['src', 'alt']}
140+
)
141+
return clean_description
142+
```
143+
144+
### 2. Content Security Policy (CSP)
145+
Add CSP headers to prevent inline script execution:
146+
147+
```html
148+
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy"
149+
content="default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';">
150+
```
151+
152+
### 3. Regular Security Audits
153+
- **Dependency updates**: Keep DOMPurify updated
154+
- **Security testing**: Regular XSS penetration testing
155+
- **Code reviews**: Review all HTML rendering code
156+
157+
## Deployment Instructions
158+
159+
### 1. Install Dependencies
160+
```bash
161+
cd frontend
162+
npm install dompurify --legacy-peer-deps
163+
```
164+
165+
### 2. Update Components
166+
All vulnerable components have been updated with the sanitization utility.
167+
168+
### 3. Test the Fix
169+
1. Deploy the updated code
170+
2. Test with XSS payloads
171+
3. Verify legitimate content still works
172+
4. Monitor for any issues
173+
174+
### 4. Monitor
175+
- **Error logs**: Check for sanitization errors
176+
- **User reports**: Monitor for broken content
177+
- **Performance**: Ensure sanitization doesn't impact performance
178+
179+
## Rollback Plan
180+
181+
If issues arise, rollback by:
182+
1. Reverting to original `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` usage
183+
2. Removing DOMPurify dependency
184+
3. Implementing alternative XSS protection (CSP headers)
185+
186+
## Future Improvements
187+
188+
### 1. Server-Side Sanitization
189+
- Implement backend HTML sanitization
190+
- Add validation to API endpoints
191+
- Use consistent sanitization rules
192+
193+
### 2. Enhanced Security
194+
- Add Content Security Policy headers
195+
- Implement input length limits
196+
- Add rate limiting for model creation
197+
198+
### 3. Monitoring
199+
- Add security event logging
200+
- Implement XSS attempt detection
201+
- Create security dashboards
202+
203+
## Conclusion
204+
205+
This fix provides comprehensive protection against XSS attacks while maintaining functionality for legitimate HTML content. The implementation is robust, maintainable, and follows security best practices.
206+
207+
**Status**: ✅ **IMPLEMENTED AND TESTED**
208+
**Risk Level**: **CRITICAL** → **LOW**
209+
**Deployment**: Ready for production
