Preventing XSS with Jsoup

Jsoup is an XSS prevention tool. Jsoup can detect XSS script in HTML and URL also. Now I am giving example with URL. Jsoup can validate the URL with the "Isvalidate ()" method. "Isvalidate ()" Method return type is Boolean. If return type is true, that means URL has an XSS script so we need to clean the URL with the "Clean ()" method. "Clean ()" method would return clean URL as String.

• Jsoup can handle all cheat sheet scenarios. URL of cheat sheet is: "Https://www.owasp.org/index.php/XSS_Filter_Evasion_Cheat_Sheet"

• Jsoup has the clear API. "Http://jsoup.org/apidocs/"

Antisamy also one of the tool to prevent XSS script, it customized one so we need to configure everything. Its not better than Jsoup

Steps to use Jsoup:

1. Download jsoup jar File

2. Write the code like the following

import java.io.unsupportedencodingexception;import org.jsoup.jsoup;import  Org.jsoup.safety.whitelist;public class jsoupsolution {public static void main ( String[] args)  throws unsupportedencodingexception {/* * sequrity issue  scenario */String input =  "get /selfservice/forgotpwd.jsp?sserror=2& Returnurl=https://stg-wealthinteractive.skandiainternational.com/securityandroles/signin/signin?authn_try_ Count=06f080\ "style%3d\" Behavior%3aurl (%23default%23time2) \ "onbegin%3d\" alert (' XSS ') \ "f6bc57307de& Contexttype=external&username=string&contextvalue=%2foam&password=sercure_string&challenge_url =https%3a%2f%2fstg-wealthinteractive.skandiainternational.com%2fsecurityandroles%2fsignin%2fsignin&request _id=6990594052748823869&oam_req=&locale=en_gb&resource_url=http%253a%252f% 252fstg-wealthinteractive.skandiainternational.com%252fauth%252flevel2.jsp%253freturnurl%25253dhttp%2525253a%2525252f%2525252fstg-wealthinteractive.skandiainternational.com% 2525252fselfservice%2525252flevel3.jsp%2525253freturnurl%252525253dhttp%25252525253a%25252525252f% 25252525252fstg-wealthinteractive.skandiainternational.com%25252525252fskandia%25252525252flogout http/ 1.1 "; string unsafe =  "'; Alert (String.fromCharCode (88,83,83)//'; Alert (String.fromCharCode (88,83,83)) \ "; Alert (String.fromCharCode (88,83,83))//\"; Alert (String.fromCharCode (88,83,83))//--></script>\ " > ' ><script>alert (String.fromCharCode (88,83,83)) </SCRIPT> "; string unsafe1 =  " ";// string input  =//  "\" Behavior%3aurl (%23default%23time2) \ "onbegin%3d\" alert (' XSS ') \ ";// string input  =  "<script>alert (\ "xss\") </script>\ ">";// string  input =  "<form background=\" Javascript:alert (' XSS ') \ ' > '; String input =  "<form bgcolor=\" #000000 \ ""; System.out.println ("input : "  + input); Boolean check = jsoup.isvalid ( Unsafe1, whitelist.relaxed ());if  (!check)  {system.out.println ("its invalid string"); String safe = jsoup.clean (Unsafe1, whitelist.basic ()); System.out.println ("cleaned code: "  + safe); System.out.println ("Its cleaned string by jsoup");boolean onemorecheck =  Jsoup.isvalid (Safe, whitelist.basic ());if  (Onemorecheck)  {system.out.println ("Its safe  code [after clean] ");}  else {system.out.println ("Its harmfull code");}}  else {system.out.println ("its valid string");}}}
