Class: Brakeman::CheckLinkToHref

Inherits:
CheckLinkTo show all
Defined in:
lib/brakeman/checks/check_link_to_href.rb

Overview

Checks for calls to link_to which pass in potentially hazardous data to the second argument. While this argument must be html_safe to not break the html, it must also be url safe as determined by calling a :url_safe_method. This prevents attacks such as javascript:evil() or data:<encoded XSS> which is html_safe, but not safe as an href Props to Nick Green for the idea.
