# HtmlSafetyValidator
#
# Validates that a value does not contain HTML
# or other unsafe content that could lead to XSS.
# Relies on Rails HTML Sanitizer:
# https://github.com/rails/rails-html-sanitizer
#
# Example:
#
# class Group < ActiveRecord::Base
# validates :name, presence: true, html_safety: true
# end
#
class HtmlSafetyValidator < ActiveModel::EachValidator
def validate_each(record, attribute, value)
return if value.blank? || safe_value?(value)
record.errors.add(attribute, self.class.error_message)
end
def self.error_message
_("cannot contain HTML/XML tags, including any word between angle brackets (<,>).")
end

# The `FullSanitizer` encodes ampersands as the HTML entity name.
# This isn't particularly necessary for preventing XSS so the ampersand
# is pre-encoded to avoid it being flagged in the comparison.
def safe_value?(text)
pre_encoded_text = text.gsub('&', '&')
Rails::Html::FullSanitizer.new.sanitize(pre_encoded_text) == pre_encoded_text
