Security with HTML from External Site

I am building an application that pulls HTML content from an external site (RSS feed) and placing that content into my Flex application.  The content of this HTML is controlled by another developer at another company.
After pulling back the HTML I am setting it as the htmlText attribute for an <mx:Text> box.
Is this safe?  Since I don't control the source HTML content I'm concerned about the content having cross-site scripting attacks in it.  Links or things that execute arbitrary javascript onclick.  Is there any way to ensure that the HTML coming back can't be used to execute any JavaScript or ActionScript?
Thanks,
..Jordan

I have come up with a two-part solution which I think solves my problem.
1) Flex automatically removed all intrinsic elements from the HTML:
    <mx:String id="inputString">
         <![CDATA[
         <a href="#" onclick="alert('hi');">Onclick alert</a><br/>
         <script>alert("Your text in the alert function.");</script>
         ]]>
     </mx:String>
     <mx:Text id="inputText" height="100%" width="100%" htmlText="{inputString}">
The value of inputText.htmlText is the following (notice there is on “onclick” event as Flex automatically cleans out intrinsic events:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">        <A HREF="#" TARGET="">Onclick alert</A></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">        alert(&quot;Your text in the alert function.&quot;);</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">        </FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
2) So all I need to do is remove the "bad" links which is done like so:
public function makeSafeContent(content:String):String {
var safeContentStr:String = content;
var myPattern:RegExp = /javascript/gi;
safeContentStr = safeContentStr.replace(myPattern,"<span>javascript</span>");
myPattern = /asfunction/gi;
safeContentStr = safeContentStr.replace(myPattern,"<span>asfunction</span>");
myPattern = /event/gi;
safeContentStr = safeContentStr.replace(myPattern,"<span>event</span>");
myPattern = /vbscript/gi;
safeContentStr = safeContentStr.replace(myPattern,"<span>vbscript</span>");
return(safeContentStr);

  • JAAS requiring re-authentication when returning from external site.

    Our Struts web application uses another application for some of its functionality. When the authenticated user clicks on the link, a cookie is set with some user info and the user is redirected to the external site. The user interacts with the external site and then the site redirects the user back to our site (to a previously unvisited, secure action). Unfortunately, the user is being prompted to authenticate again, even though they have already done so. The strange part is that this behaviour only exists the first time a new browser is opened (both IE and Mozilla). Subsequent visits to the site (after properly logging out, and logging back in) do not cause this problem. The other strange part is that when the user returns to the site and is prompted to authenticate, the login module that we are using logs a message that it is checking the user info against the allowed roles, and the user does, in fact, already exist.

    Nevermind. This was a stupid mistake on my part. I was accessing the site from localhost but the external site was returning to the actual URL. My bad.

  • Passing values to APEX items from external site

    All,
    Is it possible to pass values to APEX page items from an external web site?
    For example, I have an external web site where users type in a username and password into fields. When they click the 'log-in' button in the external site, I would like to have those values passed to the APEX log-in page. If possible, I would like to have the APEX log-in occur 'invisibly' and the user taken directly to the home page of the app. If that's not possible, it would be nice to simply have the 'user name' and 'password' fields filled in on the APEX side.
    I'm using APEX 3.0.
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Alex

    Hello Alex,
    >> Is it possible to pass values to APEX page items from an external web site?
    The general answer is yes. You can use the f?p syntax to set the value of any APEX item - http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/appdev.300/b32471/concept.htm#sthref185 .
    In your specific example, the main question should be is it wise? The mere fact that you are using a login process suggests you have something to protect in your application. The f?p syntax uses a plain text for the items’ value, which means that the user name and password will be completely exposed.

    Arie.

  • IDOC with extension from external ECC system

    Hello experts.
    I have a scenario where I need to receive an IDOC with extenstion from an external system.
    how can I define the xsd of that IDOC in my PI system?
    will I need to receive an xsd file from the external system and import it as an external defenition?
    how is it done? (this 3rd party doesn't have a PI system, so they can't export XSD like me)
    another option is to build a similar IDOC with extenstion in our SLD, and import it into the PI system... but it seems  a bit problematic.
    I'll be happy to hear suggestions from people who had to implement a similar scenario.
    thanks,
    Imanuel Rahamim.

    Hi,
    Three questions:
    1. how your external system will send to you the data: by an Idoc-XML file ? or by directly an IDoc (so with an ALE config) ?
    if it's ALE config, then you should have also a connexion to this Ext. ECC system, for instance to return back an acknowledgment. And so, if you have a connexion, you can import this IDoc into PI.
    If it's a file, they have to provide to you an XSD file, that you can use as External Def, and create a Service Interface. So it will be not really like an IDoc, but like all other message which look like an idoc.
    2.  with this ext. ECC system, do you have a logon connexion ?
    if yes, you can import this IDoc into PI.
    3. Do you have to send the same IDoc to your own ECC system ?
    if yes, that means the extension has to be developped in also in your own ECC. In that case, you will be able to import it PI and use it for source and target.
    > how is it done? (this 3rd party doesn't have a PI system, so they can't export XSD like me)
    you can find on SDN, some program to generate an XSD from a DDIC table/structure, but for complete IDoc, I don't know.
    Anyway, if it's really an ECC system, the better way to exchange data, it's to do an ALE config from their system to your PI, and no issue to import the IDoc def in PI.
    regards.

  • Get elements from external sites with rest

    Hello!!!
    I have a site collection in SPO2013 and i would like to read texts from a Drupal site and show it in my SP site. Is possible to do that with REST? if so, how? Is there some tutorial?
    Thanks!!!

    Hello,
    Yes you can create list items inside your SharePoint site using rest api. here is the simple function for your understating,
    // Adding a list item with the metadata provided
    function addListItem(url, listname, metadata, success, failure) {
    // Prepping our update
    var item = $.extend({
    "__metadata": { "type": getListItemType(listname)}
    }, metadata);
    // Executing our add
    $.ajax({
    url: url + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listname + "')/items",
    type: "POST",
    contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
    data: JSON.stringify(item),
    headers: {
    "Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
    "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
    success: function (data) {
    success(data); // Returns the newly created list item information
    error: function (data) {
    failure(data);
    you can refer to the article below which explains basic CRUD operations using REST api  with simple code  examples:

  • Populating webi reports with images downloaded live from external sites

    I'm writing applications to create different visualizations of my data, and would like the resulting images to show up in webi reports. Specifically, the application that draws the visualization will be deployed to the same java application server as webi. Users will open a normal webi report which will contain something like an HTML <img href="#myhref" /> tag, where #myhref will be a link to a page in my web application that draws a visualization.; Is such a thing possible, and if so, how? Many thanks, in advance.

    Nevermind... I think I got it. I created a SQL query that would return the URL I wanted (something like SELECT 'http://server/context?param1=' || field1 || '&param2=' || field2 FROM table", and then modified the resulting cell to be read as an Image URL.

  • Paste HTML from web sites to DW MX

    I took this question from a forum but its the same im looking
    for....
    "Forgive me if this is an inappropriate forum for this
    question, but consulting librarians seemed a good idea when queries
    to more technical forums got me nowhere.... )
    I suspect I'm overlooking something obvious (such as
    "obviously, this can't be done," ) but I can't figure out how to
    copy a url from an html document and paste it into the DW Design
    View pane without losing the formating! Seems like a simple and
    everyday task, but DW just renders everything as plain, unformatted
    text when you paste it into the design view editor. (I've included
    below the fruitless exchange I had with well-intentioned responders
    at a webmaster forum, in case there's any confusion about what it
    is I'm looking for....) Thanks, Petter
    (earlier - unproductive - traffic on this...)
    response 1:
    I think you are looking for shift + ctrl + v
    response 2:
    It might seem a retrograde step to have a small Code View
    pane open as well as the Design Pane, but there are quite a lot of
    advantages.
    Firstly you can paste straight into there instead, and then
    click in the Design View to see the changes.
    Secondly, there are some things that are easier to do in the
    code window - moving Rows of a complicated Table layout (one with
    Colspans) is one that I find easier.
    My clarification:
    Thank you both for your responses, but I think perhaps I
    haven't explained myself clearly enough...
    shift+ctrl+v is simply "paste as text" - it does that, and
    also removes line feeds that plain old ctrl+v would retain, but it
    does not preserve the format of the copied text.
    Pasting directly into Code View won't help either..if you
    want to paste into Code View, you must first find the source code
    and paste all of it - href tags and all - into Code View.
    Let me try to clarify with an example: I want to build a list
    of U.S. embassy websites in South Asia. I find a list of all U.S.
    embassy websites at
    http://usembassy.state.gov,
    and wish to paste just those in South Asia into my DW document,
    retaining the labels (e.g. Afghanistan: Kabul) but also the
    underlying urls. As far as I can tell, there's no way of doing this
    simply with DW. You can of course view source, copy the relevant
    source code into Code View and then edit out whatever you don't
    need, or you can add the links one at a time in Design View. DW
    will not even recognize labels that are identical with the
    underlying url (e.g. "visit our webpage at www.exmaple.com") - the
    tags always have to be entered manually in Code View, or via the
    Property Inspector tool in Design View.
    If you're trying to build a list of links harvested from many
    different sources - from other html lists, from urls embedded in
    text, and even from the address bar of your browser, this becomes
    very cumbersome, but perhaps there is no easier way of doing it in
    DW?
    response 3:
    Do a 'save page' to your computer. Open the saved file, cut
    and paste into your new document. Also remember it is CSS styles
    that define the look so grab the style sheets used in the original
    page, you can see the location by looking at the code of the saved
    page.
    My response
    Thanks, but as far as I can see, cutting and pasting from a
    saved file is no different than c&p from a file on the web; DW
    does not recognize the formatting in either case. And even if it
    did, this would be a very cumbersome way of building a list of
    links if you wanted to borrow selectively from a large assortment
    of pages. I suspect what I wish to do is simply not possible in
    Dreamweaver, but thanks everyone for all the suggestions!
    response 4:
    I'm starting to understand...
    OK - well in Dreamweaver, in the Design Window, you can
    select a sentence containing a phrase that is a URL link, and you
    can paste it quite happily elsewhere in the Design window, and the
    sentence will still contain a phrase that has the URL link behind
    it.
    That means that it's not a Dreamweaver problem...
    You're right - if on my Mac I copy a sentence containing some
    links off (say) the BBC website, and paste them into Dreamweaver, I
    just get the text. The Mac clipboard states the content as "text".
    Interestingly, when I copy off the Dreamweaver Design window,
    the Mac clipboard states the content as text too - I must confess I
    was expecting "styled text".
    But I think that's the problem, or at least part of it...
    In the same way, I can create links inside AppleWorks, and
    cut and paste them to my heart's content within the document, but
    as soon as I try to export them, or inport others, I get the same
    problem.
    The immediate workaround would seem to be to save the source
    webpage to disc, and open it in Dreamweaver, where I feel sure you
    could drag and drop from the source file to your target file. "

    Browse to the site. View Source. Copy All. In DW, create a
    new page.
    Select Code view. Select all. Paste.
    Now you have a page with the code, and you have to go after
    the CSS and
    images. If you are using DW8, you just have to copy the
    domain from the
    address field and adjust all the links from relative to
    absolute.
    That'll do it.
    Alternatively, you (in IE/FF) browse to the site, and use
    FILE | Save As...
    > Web Page Complete. Then you open the resulting page in
    DW.

  • RSS from external sites

    Is is possible to achieve this... I want to be able to have a page in my iWeb site that will pull RSS feeds from other webpages over the net?
    i.e. My News page
    RSS Apple Hot News
    RSS Engadet
    RSS CNN.com
    and so forth... I'm sure this is a something that would have to be done with outside of iWeb but just looking for a bit more directions with this.
    Thanks to all

    Alfeo,
    Upon visiting your site it has been noticed you do not have the RSS link available in the address bar of your browser.
    Add this tag between the <HEAD> <HEAD/> section of your HTML file to have the RSS subscribe button appear in the address bar of supported browsers.
    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="http://iWebFAQ.com/rss.xml" />
    Where http://iWebFAQ.com/rss.xml is the URL for your rss file.
    You can have different RSS links in the address bar for different pages. Just repeat the process for your individual html files of your pages and insert the desired RSS feed URL into the code as necessary.

  • Display RSS feed from external site on my page

    HI,
    I need to know if it is possible with CFMX7 to grab rss feeds
    from a remote location and just display it on my site?
    How to?

    well, cf8 has a new <cffeed> tag... and though i have
    not ever needed to
    use it (i prefer to create my feeds manually), it is
    *supposed to* make
    creating and consuming (readin) rss and atom feeds a
    breeze... but
    judging by many a blog posts, it is not without bugs...
    google <cffeed>, and check out ray camden's blog at
    coldfusionjedi.com
    for many posts on this tag
    but there is really nothing stopping you from using
    <cfhttp> + <cfxml>
    tags in cf7 to achieve what you want...
    as for porting cf7 apps to cf8 - it is usually painless, but
    depending
    on the complexity of your server/hardware configuration, it
    may require
    close attention to minute details
    just to check if you code runs fine in cf8, there is a code
    analyser
    available in cf admin.

  • Problems with sound from external speakers after iOS 5.0.1 update

    Have others experienced problems with external speakers on the Iphone 4 after iOS 5.0.1 update?  My phone no longer rings, sounds when i receive a text message, sounds alarm, etc.  Vibrate works fine and when i plug in headphones I can hear music through the headphones.  Any fixes for this?

    Hi Guys,
    I have post eariler on another forum and I have the same problem, I have tried all the things listed here and nothing was perminant in fixing this painful iphone hating problem.... and failed.  You probably have the problem when you use youtube or your music external speaker that there is no volume bar and no sound.   I have had the same problem But I need to happily say that I now have the fix!!!!  This worked for me and I fixed it by myself so you don't need to go to apple or service centre or anything.
    Ok I like so many of you here truly believed this was as IO5 issue as it only dropped the sound on the speakers once that IO5 update came along.  I tried a bunch of reset, reboots, home clicks, lock and unlocks, to fix this and all failed.  some worked for an hour but then failed.  hours of my life that I will never get back.   but since I have learnt this is not a IO5 problem but a hardware issue! ...  and in paticualar is has to do with your bottom connection.  Your phone is thinking it is docked all the time.
    To fix the no sound problem what you need is...
    1.  a torch
    2.  a tooth brush
    3.  methalated spirits
    4. a butter knife
    Step 1.
    get your torch and shine it down the bottom connection plate to see what kind of dust, sand, hair or anything you have stuck in there.   all that need to be removed!  everything!  it might look clean but still thats ok go to step 2.
    step 2.
    Turn on your music app and put the speakers on!  If your phone is like mine it should not work.  you most probably don't even have the volume display to turn it on but its ok, just do it! and it should still play with no sound.   its important you try and run the speakers as this will show you that it is a hardware problem.
    step 3.
    Dip your tooth brush into some methated sprits.   then at your sink tap the exess metho out of your brush as you just want the brushes to be slightly damp, not soaking wet and then scrub the bottom connetiors on your iphone.  work the brush back and forward in a way that scoops the dirt out of the phone, not just pushing it side to side.
    (As you bushing you should notice the volume bar come back on or off as you scub.   This happened to me and that is how I realised I was on the right track to fixing this problem as I was doing something external that was actually controling when the volume display came on or off.   but once I cleaned it this still didn't fix the problem...)
    Step 4.
    Use the back side of a butter knife (not the sharp side) to gently slide over the connectors on the iphone.  Do this gently as you are only pushing down on the tiny metal contect bars and you should notice the volume display come on again.  slide it back and forward.  Now the area of interest is about 2/3 along the connection plate to the right.   This is the area that has the infomation sent when your iphone thinks its docked.
    This has worked for me and I have not had a problem since I did this 2 weeks ago.   I have since learnt that the new IOS 5 has activated a different part of the bottom conectors.  if you have been using dodgy connectors or unapproved apple cables (as I was)  any damage or hair and dirt on the terminal this is effecting it.  Try it.   just remember if you can do something external to your phone then there lies the problem.
    Hope this works for your phone as it did for mine.
    Cheers

  • How to work with folios from external systems?

    I need to group a content into a hierarchical structure using folios. I need to add document to the particular slot in the folio. Documents are generated by the external application and checking-in thru the SOAP interface. There is no services regarding folios for SOAP in UCM. Is there any solution to resolve this problem? It is possible to use workflow processes to route documents to particular slots during the SOAP check in action?

    The services exist to do what you want, but they are not documented. I suggest logging a service request with support in order to request an Enhancement Request to prompt the documentation to be created. the more requests that come in the more priority can be given as far as I understand it.
    If you know how to customize the CS pretty well you can go look at the Folios component in the CS custom directory (remember not to directly modify it however) and look at the service definitions and that may give you some ideas. If you do not know how to read the service definitions ( and some are not clear since they call Java sub methods that are not exposed clearly) you can look at the Customizing guides in the documentation.

  • Problems embedding Flash slideshow from external site

    I currently have a photography website with SmugMug where I host most pictures that I want to share online; they have an option that lets you create a Slideshow and allows you to copy the HTML embed code.  So I stuck that into the page HTML, but every time I try previewing it on the web, nothing shows up.  When I use the Validate function, it says the tag "embed" is not used in HTML 4.0, but I don't know if that's the problem or not.  Here's the code provided:
    Any clues as to why it won't work?

    Why can't I get my code to show up?  I'm using the "Insert Raw HTML" icon and get the box, into which I paste it.  Guess I need to look up that FAQ.
    Here it is just plain:

    Like I mentioned in the first post, Dreamweaver's validation tool said that the "embed" tag is not valid in HTML 4.0.  The page is written in DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional.

  • IPhoto 7.1 Issues with colour from external editor

    Further to my previous post.
    When i saved a document edited in Photoshop CS3 to iPhoto 6 the process would be:
    File>Save As, which in turn required three dialogue boxes to be checked, the last one being "Replace existing document with the edited version". This option no longer exists.
    Any suggestions please as am totally confused.

    When I edit a photo with PS CS3 and it remains a jpg file, I only get the window with the option to pick the compression/quality level of iPhoto. But if the edit I make requires a format change to psd then I get window shown below and have to pic one of the two options presented depending on if I want to keep it as a psd file or not.
    If it stays a jpg then you will just get the quality level selection window.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I have Real Player Plus and with it you are ment to be able to download videos with it from any site bit the download video icon does not appear despite having everything enabled what's going on?

    I have got Real Player Plus and one of the features of it is being able to download any video.
    Now to do that you mouse on thevideo and a download icon appears on the top right of the video.
    Recently it has stopped working. I have all my Real Player plug-ins enabled and the feature enabled on Real Player Plus to recognise FX 3.6.17 but it doesn't work. Whats going on? I am having to use Internet Explorer to use that feature of Real Player.

    Noticed some of the comments about the new Verizon tv guide. I concur with the crowd indicating displeasure with the guide. Lots of wasted space on the left side, top and bottom of the new guide. The original guide presented more channels and more times with each screen display. The original guide was quite useful for me, and functioned perfectly fine. I would like the opportunity to choose between the two guides. Change isn't always a good thing.
