PHP XSS sanitizer tool for HTML

Disclaimer

This library was created to try to solve the problem of XSS sanitization without using a permissive list, since the HTML which is being sanitized may contain non-standard or unusual syntax (e.g. HTML for emails).

This library is also intended for a limited use case whereby it is assumed that the sanitized HTML is only going to be displayed in a limited set of supported browsers (e.g. no need to strip 'vbscript:' code).

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require phlib/xss-sanitizer

Usage

Create a sanitizer and sanitize some input

$sanitizer = new \Phlib\XssSanitizer\Sanitizer();
$sanitized = $sanitizer->sanitize($htmlInput);

Supported Browsers

This library is intended to prevent XSS vulnerabilities when the resulting HTML is rendered by any of the following browsers:

Chrome (40+)
Firefox (40+)
Safari (8+)
IE (10, 11)
Edge
