HTML Varlık Kodlama Nedir?

HTML varlık kodlama, özel karakterleri tarayıcıların güvenle gösterebileceği HTML varlıklarına (metin gösterimleri) dönüştürür. Bu, HTML'de özel anlama sahip karakterlerin kod olarak yorumlanmasını önler.

Critical Uses of HTML Entity Encoding

  • Preventing XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) Attacks: This is the primary reason for HTML encoding. When displaying user input (comments, usernames, search queries, form data), you must encode it to prevent attackers from injecting malicious scripts. For example, without encoding, a username like <img src=x onerror=alert(document.cookie)> would execute JavaScript and steal cookies. With encoding, it becomes harmless text: &lt;img src=x onerror=alert(document.cookie)&gt;. Every web framework (Django, Rails, Laravel, ASP.NET) includes HTML encoding functions. Use them religiously.
  • Displaying User-Generated Content: Any content submitted by users (blog comments, forum posts, product reviews, chat messages, profile descriptions) must be HTML-encoded before display. Attackers will absolutely try to inject malicious code through these inputs. Even seemingly safe fields like email addresses or phone numbers can contain < > characters in attacks. Encode everything from untrusted sources.
  • Showing Code Examples and Snippets: When displaying HTML, XML, or code snippets on websites (tutorials, documentation, developer blogs), encode the code so browsers display it as text rather than rendering it. For example, to show <div>Hello</div> on a page, you must encode it as &lt;div&gt;Hello&lt;/div&gt;. Without encoding, the browser renders an actual div element instead of showing the code.
  • Encoding HTML Attribute Values: When inserting dynamic data into HTML attributes (especially href, src, onclick), encode the values to prevent attribute breaking and JavaScript injection. For example, <a href="USERDATA"> is vulnerable if USERDATA contains "> (closes the attribute) followed by malicious attributes. Encoding the quote as &quot; prevents this attack. Always encode attribute values, even for "safe" looking data.

HTML Entities and Web Security

HTML varlık kodlama, HTML'nin kendisiyle birlikte evrildi. HTML5 spesifikasyonu, adlandırılmış karakter referanslarını (&lt; &gt; &amp; gibi) ve sayısal referansları (&#60; veya &#x3C;) tanımlar. Varlık kodlama, tarayıcıların özel karakterleri HTML işaretlemesi olarak yorumlamasını önler, bu da onu güvenlik ve içerik gösterimi için vazgeçilmez kılar.

Critical Security Guidelines

HTML encoding prevents XSS attacks by converting special characters to safe entities. Always encode user input before displaying it on web pages. Learn about encoding security

Programlama Dillerinde HTML Varlık Kodlama

Çoğu dil XSS saldırılarını önlemek için HTML varlık kodlama sağlar. İşte örnekler:

// htmlspecialchars() - standard encoding (recommended)
$encoded = htmlspecialchars($data, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
// Encodes: < > & " '

// htmlentities() - encodes ALL special characters
$encoded = htmlentities($data, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
// Encodes: < > & " ' plus accented characters, etc.

// For attribute values (always use ENT_QUOTES)
echo '<div title="' . htmlspecialchars($userInput, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8') . '">';

// Laravel Blade templates (auto-encoding)
// {{ $userInput }} - automatically HTML encoded

// Browser: textContent (automatic encoding - recommended)
element.textContent = userInput; // Safe, auto-encoded

// Creating elements safely
const div = document.createElement('div');
div.textContent = userInput; // Safe

// Manual encoding function
function htmlEncode(str) {
    const div = document.createElement('div');
    div.textContent = str;
    return div.innerHTML;
}

// Library: DOMPurify (for sanitizing HTML)
const clean = DOMPurify.sanitize(dirtyHTML);

import html

# html.escape() - standard encoding
encoded = html.escape(userInput)
# Encodes: < > &

# With quote encoding
encoded = html.escape(userInput, quote=True)
# Encodes: < > & " '

# Django templates (auto-encoding)
# {{ user_input }} - automatically HTML encoded
# {{ user_input|safe }} - NO encoding (dangerous!)

# Jinja2 templates (auto-encoding)
# {{ user_input }} - automatically encoded

import "html"

// html.EscapeString() - standard encoding
encoded := html.EscapeString(userInput)
// Encodes: < > & " '

// In Go templates (html/template package auto-encodes)
tmpl := template.Must(template.New("page").Parse("<p>{{.}}</p>"))
tmpl.Execute(w, userInput) // Auto-encoded safely

// Apache Commons Text (recommended)
import org.apache.commons.text.StringEscapeUtils;
String encoded = StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml4(userInput);
// Encodes: < > & " '

// OWASP Java Encoder (most secure)
import org.owasp.encoder.Encode;
String encoded = Encode.forHtml(userInput);

// Spring MVC (auto-encoding in JSP)
// <c:out value="${userInput}"/> - auto-encoded

require 'cgi'

# CGI.escapeHTML() - standard encoding
encoded = CGI.escapeHTML(user_input)
# Encodes: < > & " '

# Rails (ERB templates auto-encode)
# <%= user_input %> - automatically HTML encoded
# <%== user_input %> - NO encoding (dangerous!)

# html_safe marker (tells Rails string is safe)
# safe_html.html_safe - skips encoding

using System.Web;
using System.Net;

// HttpUtility.HtmlEncode() - standard encoding
string encoded = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(userInput);
// Encodes: < > & " '

// WebUtility (no System.Web dependency)
string encoded = WebUtility.HtmlEncode(userInput);

// Razor views (auto-encoding)
// @Model.UserInput - automatically HTML encoded
// @Html.Raw(Model.UserInput) - NO encoding (dangerous!)
