We are using ESLint instead. Your options:
- XSS-prevention rule during CI with eslint-plugin-no-unsanitized. This assumes that you prevent/disallow obfuscation and that your code is subject to code review before it is being scanned (e.g., to catch intentional malicious/obfuscated code)
- If you want something that warn for "all the things" that scanjs pointed out, you will need to use and build upon eslint-config-scanjs.
Thank you.
ScanJS was was a Static analysis tool for javascript code. ScanJS was created as an aid for security review, to help identify security issues in client-side web applications.
ScanJS used Acorn to convert sources to AST, then walks AST looking for source patterns. You could use the rules file supplied, or load your own rules.
Rules are specified in JSON format - for an example see /common/template_rules.json
At a minimum, each must have rule is made up of 2 attributes:
- name: the name of the rule
- source: javascript source which matches one of the patterns below (see Rule Syntax below)
Optionally a rule may have the following attirbutes:
- testhit: one more JavaScript statements (seperate by semi-colons) that the rule will match
- testmiss: the rule should not match any of these statements
- desc: description of the rule
- threat: for catgorizing rules by threat
For the source attribute, the following basic statements are supported:
- identifier
foo: matches any identifier , "foo" - property
$_any.foo: $_any is wildcard, matches anything.foo - objectproperty
foo.bar: matches object and property, i.e. foo.bar
You can also matches function calls based on the same syntax:
- call
foo(): matches function calls with this name - propertycall
$_any.foo: matches anything.foo() but not foo() - objectpropertycall:
foo.bar(): matches foo.bar() only
You can also search for functions with matching literal arguments:
- callargs
foo('test',ignored,42): matches a function called foo, with 'test' as the first argument, anything as the second argument, and the number 42 as the third argument (i.e. matches ONLY literal arguments). - propertycallargs
$_any.foo('test',ignored,42): same as above, but function has to be a property. - objectpropertycallargs
foo.bar('test',ignored,42): same as above, but matches both object and property
You can also search for assignment to a specifically named identifier:
- assignment
foo=$_any: matches when foo is assigned to something - propertyassignment
$_any.foo=$_any: matches when anything.foo is assigned to something - objectpropertyassignment
foo.bar=$_any: matches when foo.bar is assigned to something
If you specify $_unsafe on the right hand side (e.g. foo.innerHTML=$_unsafe), it will only match if the RHS contains at least one identifier.
Tips:
- Javascript is very dynamic, and this is navie approach: write conservative rules and review for false positives
- One simple statement per rule, not complex statements (yet)!
- 'foo' does NOT match 'this.foo', if you are looking for something in global (e.g. 'alert()' ), you need to add two rules: 'alert.()' and '$_any.alert()'
- Try the rule out in the experiment tab to test what it matches
Examples: See /common/template_rules.json and /common/rules.json
- Install node.js
nodejs server.js- Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:4000/client/ or see our example page
- Install node.js
scanner.js -t DIRECTORY_PATH
Tests use the mocha testing framework.
npm test- or in the browser:
http://127.0.0.1:4000/tests/
Tests are included in the rules declaration (see common/rules.json) by specifying the following two attributes, which are specified in the form of a series of javascript statements:
- testhit: The rule should match each of these statements individualy.
- testmiss: The rule should not match all of these statements.
