QUESTION
I'm developing an API with expressJS. This API is a semi-weblog service, and clients can create, update and delete their posts and contents. I have a sec urity concern about implementing its post and patch routes.
If the user injects some JS code and sends it to API to store in Mongodb, could these codes affect our API? How can I prevent users from posting and patching requests with any code inside them?
I have found "xss-clean" middleware to sanitize the user input body, is it enough for this purpose?
Because it is very important to me to ensure that I am using the correct middleware to protect this API, I am asking this question.

Generally speaking: It won't.
The code come into express as a message body. It gets parsed by your middleware into a data structure where it will appear as a string. You then put that string in an object of structured data that you pass through the Mongodb client API which sends it to the database with any escaping that is needed.

XSS is an attack in which data injected into an HTML document contains special characters which are treated as special characters in HTML.

...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Sep-11 at 11:42You could simply modify the middleware from your own node_modules folder, and in the source-code file where it begins to parse the request object, you could add conditional logic that checks if the request object meets the conditions you're checking for-- whether it's a specific request or contains the specific data within the request-- and then decide whether or not you use the sanitization function on the request object.

QUESTION
I have hosted my MERN app on Heroku , but whenever I implement helmet in app.js file it's causing this issue.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jan-26 at 01:15Helmet maintainer here.
This is happening because of something called Content Security Policy, which Helmet sets by default. To solve your problem, you will need to configure Helmet's CSP.
MDN has a good documentation about CSP which I would recommend reading for background. After that, take a look at Helmet's README to see how to configure its CSP component.
To give some help specific to this question: this error is telling you that the script-src
directive of your CSP does not allow inline JavaScript, and so it was blocked.
This is considered "inline" JavaScript:
QUESTION
i want to disable the CSP - app.use(helmet.contentSecurityPolicy())
because it blocks any inline-scripts. the hash and nonce solutions (https://content-security-policy.com/examples/allow-inline-script/) are too much overkill for my app.
is the xss-clean
package or others solutions are enough to get a regular-moderate security?
thanks :)
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Oct-26 at 20:55You have complete control using the helmet
middleware you mentioned.
The reference docs are clear about setting up your CSP.
Once set, you can always evaluate the strength your CSP with a validator such as this one.
From the docs:
If no directives are supplied, the following policy is set (whitespace added for readability):

I just started to learn typescript and just started converting my nodejs/express application to typescript.
I have successfully got all types for the library using npm i @types/some-lib
only library, I can't find was npm i @types/xss-clean
where to find this library
ANSWER
Answered 2020-Aug-31 at 14:21If the library does not have many TypeScript users, chances are that no published types exist. In that case you can add your own to whatever degree of detail you wish.
You can create a type definition file, e.g. xss-clean.d.ts
