eslint-plugin-sdl

ESLint Plugin focused on common security issues and misconfigurations.

Plugin is intended as a baseline for projects that follow Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) and use ESLint to perform Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST).

Configs

Plugin is shipped with following Shareable Configs:

• angular - Set of rules for Angular applications
• angularjs - Set of rules for AngularJS applications
• common - Set of rules for common JavaScript applications
• electron - Set of rules for Electron applications
• node - Set of rules for Node applications
• react - Set of rules for ReactJS applications
• recommended - SDL Recommended rules for all applications
• required - SDL Required rules for all applications
• typescript - Set of rules for TypeScript applications

Rules

Where possible, we leverage existing rules from ESLint and community plugins such as react, typescript-eslint or security.

We also implemented several custom rules where we did not find sufficient alternative in the community.

Name	Description
no-caller	Bans usage of deprecated functions arguments.caller() and arguments.callee that could potentially allow access to call stack.
no-delete-var	Bans usage of operator delete on variables as it can lead to unexpected behavior.
no-eval	Bans usage of eval() that allows code execution from string argument.
no-implied-eval	Bans usage of setTimeout(), setInterval() and execScript(). These functions are similar to eval() and prone to code execution.
no-new-func	Bans calling new Function() as it's similar to eval() and prone to code execution.
node/no-deprecated-api	Bans usage of deprecated APIs in Node.
@microsoft/sdl/no-angular-bypass-sanitizer	Calls to bypassSecurityTrustHtml, bypassSecurityTrustScript and similar methods bypass DomSanitizer in Angular and need to be reviewed.
@microsoft/sdl/no-angularjs-bypass-sce	Calls to $sceProvider.enabled(false), $sceDelegate.trustAs(), $sce.trustAs() and relevant shorthand methods (e.g. trustAsHtml or trustAsJs) bypass Strict Contextual Escaping (SCE) in AngularJS and need to be reviewed.
@microsoft/sdl/no-angularjs-enable-svg	Calls to $sanitizeProvider.enableSvg(true) increase attack surface of the application by enabling SVG support in AngularJS sanitizer and need to be reviewed.
@microsoft/sdl/no-angularjs-sanitization-whitelist	Calls to $compileProvider.aHrefSanitizationWhitelist or $compileProvider.imgSrcSanitizationWhitelist configure whitelists in AngularJS sanitizer and need to be reviewed.
@microsoft/sdl/no-cookies	HTTP cookies are an old client-side storage mechanism with inherent risks and limitations. Use Web Storage, IndexedDB or other modern methods instead.
@microsoft/sdl/no-document-domain	Writes to document.domain property must be reviewed to avoid bypass of same-origin checks. Usage of top level domains such as azurewebsites.net is strictly prohibited.
@microsoft/sdl/no-document-write	Calls to document.write or document.writeln manipulate DOM directly without any sanitization and should be avoided. Use document.createElement() or similar methods instead.
@microsoft/sdl/no-electron-node-integration	Node.js Integration must not be enabled in any renderer that loads remote content to avoid remote code execution attacks.
@microsoft/sdl/no-html-method	Direct calls to method html() often (e.g. in jQuery framework) manipulate DOM without any sanitization and should be avoided. Use document.createElement() or similar methods instead.
@microsoft/sdl/no-inner-html	Assignments to innerHTML or outerHTML properties manipulate DOM directly without any sanitization and should be avoided. Use document.createElement() or similar methods instead.
@microsoft/sdl/no-insecure-url	Insecure protocols such as HTTP or FTP should be replaced by their encrypted counterparts (HTTPS, FTPS) to avoid sending potentially sensitive data over untrusted networks in plaintext.
@microsoft/sdl/no-msapp-exec-unsafe	Calls to MSApp.execUnsafeLocalFunction() bypass script injection validation and should be avoided.
@microsoft/sdl/no-postmessage-star-origin	Always provide specific target origin, not * when sending data to other windows using postMessage to avoid data leakage outside of trust boundary.
@microsoft/sdl/no-unsafe-alloc	When calling Buffer.allocUnsafe and Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow, the allocated memory is not wiped-out and can contain old, potentially sensitive data.
@microsoft/sdl/no-winjs-html-unsafe	Calls to WinJS.Utilities.setInnerHTMLUnsafe() and similar methods do not perform any input validation and should be avoided. Use WinJS.Utilities.setInnerHTML() instead.
@microsoft/sdl/react-iframe-missing-sandbox	The sandbox attribute enables an extra set of restrictions for the content in the iframe and should always be specified.
react/no-danger	Bans usage of dangerouslySetInnerHTML property in React as it allows passing unsanitized HTML in DOM.
@typescript-eslint/no-implied-eval	Similar to built-in ESLint rule no-implied-eval. Bans usage of setTimeout(), setInterval(), setImmediate(), execScript() or new Function() as they are similar to eval() and allow code execution from string arguments.
