i found the following functions or method to escape HTML, URL params, or Javascript data: <%= h @ha %> <%= sanitize @ha %> <%= u @ha %> <%= @ha.to_json %> <%= strip_tags @ha %> are they more functions or methods to do these things? and are there alternative ways to do that? thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

So I''ve googled my brains out, and I see a lot of talk about TextHelper for views, but next to no discussion about cleaning text _before_ it is saved. I figured this had to be asked 4 zillion times, but I''m not finding anything concrete/obvious. Using h is fine as a safety catch, but that alone is not acceptable to me as the means of diffusing the impact of HTML or JS

Hello, I am pleased to announce the availability of the plugin acts_as_classifier which allows using the ''classifier'' gem in a Rails application.

hi, everyone, i have googled around for some pdf generators.

I''ve noticed that it is possible to pass javascript unaltered through the sanitize function using CSS. For example: sanitize( "<style type=''text/css''>body{background-image:url(''javascript:window.alert(1)'') }</style>" ) IE will execute the javascript. Firefox will not. I haven''t tried it with any other browsers.

Hi, I am using clang++3.9 to build a simple program with both CFI and safe-stack. I am getting linker errors when combining -fsanitize=safe-stack, -fsanitize=cfi, and -fno-sanitize-trap=all. Combining safe-stack and CFI without -fno-sanitize-trap=all works as expected. It looks like clang is attempting to link in two compiler-rt libraries, one for ubsan and one for safestack, and this causes

Haven''t been able to find a good enough answer on whether using sanitize() is enough to really protect me from XSS attacks I basically have a blog page that I want to allow people to display comments on but would like to allow html tags to be posted on the comments, these could html tags like the imageshack img tags, youtube player, photobucket img tags etc any other approaches or

Hi, I have some html pages that are saved in DB and which require anchors for quickly jumping inside the page. People can edit the page manually, so in order to keep things clean I use Rails sanitize method to clean the html before output. The problem is that it is stripping my anchors. e.g: <h2 id=''team''>Our Team</h2> becomes <h2>Our Team</h2> How can

I have a model that deals with HTML and I want to use the text_helper.sanitize method to strip the HTML of Javascript. However, it doesn''t appear that I can get easy access to the text_helper methods from within a model. Anyone have any suggestions for how to do this? In general, I think that there are some ActionView helpers which are generic enough to want to use in a model class.

Hi, I want to have a page in my Ruby on Rails application that is like a dynamic / updateable data grid. Like a matrix or spreadsheet segment (x rows, y columns) which one can click in any of the cells and make an update, which triggers some AJAX code to fire off the update, and then the responses come back and update whatever else needs updating based on this change. Is there a prototype

Hullo, fellow Railsers! (warning: this isn''t a 100% Rails specific question, but I guess it very much applies to what a lot of us are currently doing.) For a project that involves messageboard functionality I''m looking for a good way of sanitizing user input, so the silly fools, err, my wonderful users don''t mess things up too much. I''ve played around with

I''m trying to run a rails app developed by my firm on my Ubuntu machine. I''m using RVM with what I think are all the appropriate gems installed. The application works fine on co-workers OSX machines. When running db:migrate I get the following error: $ rake db:migrate --trace ... rake aborted! An error has occurred, all later migrations canceled: undefined method

How does one deal with validation error messages on child objects of the main model object behind a page? I have the basic blog w/ comments page (only my "entry" is a "proposal"). I have the comments saving just fine, but I wanted to show an error if the user hits the submit button without typing anything in the comment. I added "validates_presence_of

This patch tries to detect the possible buggy features advertised by host and sanitize them. One example is booting virtio-net with only ctrl_vq disabled, qemu may still advertise many features which depends on it. This will trigger several BUG()s in virtnet_send_command(). This patch utilizes the sanitize_features() method, and disables all features that depends on ctrl_vq if it was not
