This page describes Angular's built-in
protections against common web-application vulnerabilities and attacks such as cross-site
scripting attacks. It doesn't cover application-level security, such as authentication (_Who is
this user?_) and authorization (_What can this user do?_).
For more information about the attacks and mitigations described below, see [OWASP Guide Project](https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Guide_Project).

Reporting vulnerabilities
</h2>
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
To report vulnerabilities in Angular itself, email us at [security@angular.io](mailto:security@angular.io).
For more information about how Google handles security issues, see [Google's security
philosophy](https://www.google.com/about/appsecurity/).

Best practices
</h2>
* **Keep current with the latest Angular library releases.**
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
We regularly update the Angular libraries, and these updates may fix security defects discovered in
previous versions. Check the Angular [change
log](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) for security-related updates.
* **Don't modify your copy of Angular.**
Private, customized versions of Angular tend to fall behind the current version and may not include
important security fixes and enhancements. Instead, share your Angular improvements with the
community and make a pull request.
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
* **Avoid Angular APIs marked in the documentation as “_Security Risk_.”**
For more information, see the [Trusting safe values](#bypass-security-apis) section of this page.

Preventing cross-site scripting (XSS)
</h2>
[Cross-site scripting (XSS)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting) enables attackers
to inject malicious code into web pages. Such code can then, for example, steal user data (in
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
particular, login data) or perform actions to impersonate the user. This is one of the most
common attacks on the web.
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
To block XSS attacks, you must prevent malicious code from entering the DOM (Document Object Model). For example, if
attackers can trick you into inserting a `<script>` tag in the DOM, they can run arbitrary code on
your website. The attack isn't limited to `<script>` tags&mdash;many elements and properties in the
DOM allow code execution, for example, `<img onerror="...">` and `<a href="javascript:...">`. If
attacker-controlled data enters the DOM, expect security vulnerabilities.
### Angulars cross-site scripting security model
To systematically block XSS bugs, Angular treats all values as untrusted by default. When a value
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
is inserted into the DOM from a template, via property, attribute, style, class binding, or interpolation,
Angular sanitizes and escapes untrusted values.
_Angular templates are the same as executable code_: HTML, attributes, and binding expressions
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
(but not the values bound) in templates are trusted to be safe. This means that applications must
prevent values that an attacker can control from ever making it into the source code of a
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
template. Never generate template source code by concatenating user input and templates.
To prevent these vulnerabilities, use
the [offline template compiler](#offline-template-compiler), also known as _template injection_.
### Sanitization and security contexts
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
_Sanitization_ is the inspection of an untrusted value, turning it into a value that's safe to insert into
the DOM. In many cases, sanitization doesn't change a value at all. Sanitization depends on context:
a value that's harmless in CSS is potentially dangerous in a URL.
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
Angular defines the following security contexts:
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
* **HTML** is used when interpreting a value as HTML, for example, when binding to `innerHtml`.
* **Style** is used when binding CSS into the `style` property.
* **URL** is used for URL properties, such as `<a href>`.
* **Resource URL** is a URL that will be loaded and executed as code, for example, in `<script src>`.
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
Angular sanitizes untrusted values for HTML, styles, and URLs; sanitizing resource URLs isn't
possible because they contain arbitrary code. In development mode, Angular prints a console warning
when it has to change a value during sanitization.
### Sanitization example
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
The following template binds the value of `htmlSnippet`, once by interpolating it into an element's
content, and once by binding it to the `innerHTML` property of an element:
{@example 'security/ts/src/app/inner-html-binding.component.html'}
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
Interpolated content is always escaped&mdash;the HTML isn't interpreted and the browser displays
angle brackets in the element's text content.
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
For the HTML to be interpreted, bind it to an HTML property such as `innerHTML`. But binding
a value that an attacker might control into `innerHTML` normally causes an XSS
vulnerability. For example, code contained in a `<script>` tag is executed:
### Avoid direct use of the DOM APIs
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
The built-in browser DOM APIs don't automatically protect you from security vulnerabilities.
For example, `document`, the node available through `ElementRef`, and many third-party APIs
contain unsafe methods. Avoid directly interacting with the DOM and instead use Angular
templates where possible.
### Content security policy
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
Content Security Policy (CSP) is a defense-in-depth
technique to prevent XSS. To enable CSP, configure your web server to return an appropriate
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
`Content-Security-Policy` HTTP header. Read more about content security policy at
[An Introduction to Content Security Policy](http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/security/content-security-policy/)
on the HTML5Rocks website.

### Use the offline template compiler
The offline template compiler prevents a whole class of vulnerabilities called template injection,
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
and greatly improves application performance. Use the offline template compiler in production
deployments; don't dynamically generate templates. Angular trusts template code, so generating
templates, in particular templates containing user data, circumvents Angular's built-in protections.
For information about dynamically constructing forms in a safe way, see the
[Dynamic Forms](../cookbook/dynamic-form.html) cookbook page.
### Server-side XSS protection
HTML constructed on the server is vulnerable to injection attacks. Injecting template code into an
Angular application is the same as injecting executable code into the
application: it gives the attacker full control over the application. To prevent this,
use a templating language that automatically escapes values to prevent XSS vulnerabilities on
2017-03-06 05:43:33 -05:00
the server. Don't generate Angular templates on the server side using a templating language; doing this
carries a high risk of introducing template-injection vulnerabilities.

Auditing Angular applications
</h2>
Angular applications must follow the same security principles as regular web applications, and
must be audited as such. Angular-specific APIs that should be audited in a security review,
such as the [_bypassSecurityTrust_](#bypass-security-apis) methods, are marked in the documentation
as security sensitive.
