Severity: Warning

Category: Security

Description

Rendering resources based on unsanitized user input should be avoided. At a minimum, one should use a safelist to restrict the potential resources that are exposed.

Non-Compliant Code Examples

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
    res.render(req.body.path)
    res.render(req.cookies.path)
    res.render(req.headers.path)
    res.render(req.params.path)
    res.render(req.query.path)
})

Compliant Code Examples

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
    const path = req.body.path
    if (["posts", "pages"].includes(path)) {
        return res.render(`${path}/success`)
    }
    res.render("error-page")
})
