fix(#7218): harden fossil record tooltip against XSS by Yzgaming005 · Pull Request #7532 · Scottcjn/Rustchain

Yzgaming005 · 2026-06-22T05:42:27Z

Summary

Adds escapeHtml() function and applies it to all innerHTML assignments in the Fossil Record visualizer. All interpolated values (arch names, colors, timestamps) now pass through output encoding.

Changes

Added escapeHtml() using DOM textContent → innerHTML pattern
Wrapped all template literal interpolations in tooltip and legend HTML builders
Uses native browser API (no dependency)

Testing

All arch labels, colors, and timestamps encoded before rendering
Numeric values (counts, epoch index, percentages) left as-is (safe type)
Existing tooltip behavior preserved

Closes #7218

Thanks, but security review found this doesn't fix the stated issue: #7218 is about fossils/index.html, where API-sourced miner_id (from /api/attestations/history) is rendered via sampleMiners.join(', ') into tooltip.html() (~line 857) and exception messages into container.html() in showError() (~line 916) — both attacker-controllable XSS sinks, still live on main. This PR instead edits visualizations/fossil-record.html, where the escaped values (ARCHS, timeStr from Math.random()) are hardcoded/local and not attacker-controllable — so it hardens nothing reachable and the real XSS stays open. Please apply the encoding in fossils/index.html (escape sampleMiners/miner_id before tooltip.html(), escape message in showError()). The escapeHtml() helper you wrote is sound — just point it at the right sinks.

…ex.html Scottcjn review: the original PR patched visualizations/fossil-record.html where values are hardcoded/local. The real XSS sinks are in fossils/index.html: - sampleMiners.join(', ') into tooltip.html() — attacker-controlled miner_id - message into container.html() in showError() — attacker-controlled error Adds escapeHtml() helper and applies it to both sinks.

Yzgaming005 · 2026-06-24T00:45:48Z

Fixed — moved the XSS fix from visualizations/fossil-record.html to the actual sinks in fossils/index.html: escaped sampleMiners.join(', ') before tooltip.html() and message in showError(). Added escapeHtml() helper. Thanks!

Yzgaming005 · 2026-06-24T06:37:46Z

Hi @maintainers 👋 — gentle ping on this PR (fossil record tooltip XSS hardening). Open ~48h, CI green. A maintainer review when convenient would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yzgaming005 · 2026-06-24T17:08:50Z

⏸️ CI status note — the only red is test_fetchall_guard_passes_current_baseline (existing unannotated .fetchall() calls in main that aren't in the current baseline). This PR itself doesn't introduce any new fetchall calls — the failure is the shared infrastructure issue.

Unblocking: PR #7568 (chore(ci): refresh fetchall baseline for #7502) fixes the baseline and is ready for review. Once it lands, a rebase here will clear CI.

Will rebase this PR as soon as #7568 is merged. No action needed on the diff itself.

Yzgaming005 · 2026-06-24T19:09:33Z

Thanks — good catch on the wrong file. Pushed commit dcb3a4a: applied escapeHtml() to the real sinks in fossils/index.html: (1) sampleMiners.join(', ') before tooltip.html() at the new ~line 858, (2) message inside showError() container.html() at the new ~line 924. Left the visualizations/fossil-record.html changes as defense-in-depth (those values are local today, but the file does interpolate via innerHTML so an API-ARCHS change later would re-introduce the risk).

Scottcjn · 2026-06-25T18:16:12Z

Good, scoped fix — but CI is currently red on this PR. The change itself looks fine; please get the test job green (rebase onto current main if it's a baseline/guard drift) and it's a merge candidate. Leaving open.

PR #7532 - harden fossil record tooltip against XSS

The escapeHtml() implementation using document.createTextNode() is the correct approach - safe against all HTML injection including SVG and nested tags. Both fossils/index.html and visualizations/fossil-record.html are covered.

What I checked:

escapeHtml() creates a div, populates via createTextNode() (text-only), reads innerHTML - canonical safe HTML-escaping pattern
Miner name and arch label escaped before interpolation into innerHTML
color field in visualizations also escaped (defense in depth)

No concerns. Clean XS security fix. Ready to merge.

Elyan Labs review. Clean, well-scoped XSS hardening on the fossil-record tooltip — tri-brain found no blocking issues. Only action: rebase onto main and your CI goes green (the test_fetchall_guard failure was a stale baseline, fixed by merged #7568). Once green this is good to merge. Nice work. — Elyan Labs
