  32. What is XSS I dunno, something with SVG, CSS Expressions,

    etc. The list grows.

  33. Because Dr. Mario

  34. Because Dr. Mario

  35. Why do those crazy things?

  36. CODE != DATA “select * from table where id =

    “ + id “<a href=“ + link + “>text</a>”

  37. But we don’t do stupid things

  38. I will religiously escape content

  39. I will religiously escape content part 2

  40. JSFuck - Write any JavaScript with 6 Characters: []()!+ I

    will religiously escape content part 3
  41. None

  42. I’ll sanitize / validate input

  43. I’ll use a scanner

  44. I’ll perform periodic assessments

  45. Security is about layers

  46. None

  47. Thermos? Koozie?

  48. <script>goodStuff()</script> <script>badStuff()</script> How does the browser know?

  49. What is dangerous? • inline javascript • <script>…</script> • <input

    onBlur=“…”> • <a href=“javascript:…”> • on-the-fly code generation • setTimeout, eval, new Function(“…”)

  50. What’s a CSP??? default-src ‘self’; connect-src ‘self’; font-src ‘self’ data:;

    frame-src ‘self’ about: javascript:; frame-ancestors https://twitter.com; img-src https://mycdn.xom data:; media-src ‘https://mycdn.xom; object-src ‘none’; script-src https://mycdn.xom; style-src 'unsafe-inline' https://mycdn.xom; report-uri https://twitter.com/scribes/csp_report

  51. CSP is more than XSS protection

  52. Nothing is free

  53. Report-Only mode

  54. Techniques for removing inline javascript

  55. Removing the dangerous stuff

  56. CSP 1.1 • Whitelisting inline <script> in a safe way

  57. Inline code <script> stuff() </script>

  58. Nonces <script nonce=“34298734…”> stuff() </script>

  59. Hashes <script> stuff() </script>

  60. Hashes are more secure, and more limited than nonces

  61. What you still can’t do • Inline event handlers •

    <input onBlur=“doGoodThing()”> • <a href=“javascript:…”> • Dynamic javascript • <script> var id=<%=id%> </script> • Hash values won’t match • Nonce provides absolutely no security

  62. Automatic CSP Protection (Silverish bullet)

  63. Whitelisting javascript • Find all javascript • Compute all hash

    values • Whitelist scripts with corresponding hashes

  64. Assume: Sane web framework • Do a regular expression search

    over all templates, capture all inline javascript • Store a map of the hash(es) in each individual file • Each time the file is rendered, add the corresponding hashes to the header

  65. Developer productivity • Serve dynamic hash values in (!production), serve

    hardcoded hash values in production
  66. None
