Advanced tools
A polyglot is a payload that can be used in more than one context and still be treated as valid data. To learn more about polyglots check out this talk.
$ npm install xss-polyglots --save-dev
The xss-polyglots
package exports a function that returns an array of payloads.
import getPayloads from 'xss-polyglots';
let xssPayloads = getPayloads();
By default, these payloads will call console.error
whenever they can be executed. Otherwise you can specify which
function will be called as the first argument of the getPayloads
function.
import getPayloads from 'xss-polyglots';
let xssPayloads = getPayloads('myGlobalFunction');
