Parsing-based sanitization package for eval.
Everybody is aware of the dangers of using eval, especially when user input is involved. Nevertheless, eval is still prevalent in the npm community. This package aims at solving this problem by sanitizing the string passed to eval.
var userInput = "23; console.log('Injection Succeded')";
var sanitiz = require("eval-sanitizer");
var safeStr = sanitiz`var x = ${userInput}`; // removes console.log call
eval(safeStr); // safe to pass to eval
This package requires ECMAScript 6 quasi-literals to mark user input in the string to be sanitized. It removes all the parts of the user input that may be harmful by enforcing one of the available policies. The dynamic part of the quasi-literal is assumed to be the user input.
A policy defines constraints on the nature of the user input. Currently there are three available policies:
Example of how the used policy may be modified:
var sanitizer = require("eval-sanitizer");
sanitizer.setPolicy(sanitizer.ONLY_LITERALS);
