Bug#628135: ITP: haskell-xss-sanitize -- Library to sanitize HTML and prevent XSS attacks



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-haskell@lists.debian.org

   Package name: haskell-xss-sanitize
        Version: 0.2.6
Upstream Author: Greg Weber <greg@gregweber.info>
            URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/xss-sanitize
        License: BSD
    Description: Library to sanitize HTML and prevent XSS attacks
This library is able to parse strings that contain HTML code and check
for the presence of potentially malicious tags that could trigger XSS
(Cross-Site Scripting). It can be used in a Web application when using
HTML code coming from an untrusted party.

Moreover, this library is also able to check for unbalanced tags and
tries to fix them (even though it could produce invalid HTML).

Rationale: it's a dependency for the new version of gitit.

Thanks, Giovanni.
