Bleach

Version 3.1.0 (January 9th, 2019)

Security fixes

None

Backwards incompatible changes

None

Features

• Add recognized_tags argument to the linkify Linker class. This fixes issues when linkifying on its own and having some tags get escaped. It defaults to a list of HTML5 tags. Thank you, Chad Birch! (#409)

Bug fixes

• Add six>=1.9 to requirements. Thank you, Dave Shawley (#416)
• Fix cases where attribute names could have invalid characters in them. (#419)
• Fix problems with LinkifyFilter not being able to match links across &. (#422)
• Fix InputStreamWithMemory when the BleachHTMLParser is parsing meta tags. (#431)
• Fix doctests. (#357)

Version 3.0.2 (October 11th, 2018)

Security fixes

None

Features

None

Bug fixes

• Merge Characters tokens after sanitizing them. This fixes issues in the LinkifyFilter where it was only linkifying parts of urls. (#374)

Version 3.0.1 (October 9th, 2018)

Security fixes

None

Backwards incompatible changes

None

Features

• Support Python 3.7. It supported Python 3.7 just fine, but we added 3.7 to the list of Python environments we test so this is now officially supported. (#377)

Bug fixes

• Fix list object has no attribute lower in clean. (#398)
• Fix abbr getting escaped in linkify. (#400)

Version 3.0.0 (October 3rd, 2018)

Security fixes

None

Backwards incompatible changes

• A bunch of functions were moved from one module to another.

  These were moved from bleach.sanitizer to bleach.html5lib_shim:

  • convert_entity
  • convert_entities
  • match_entity
  • next_possible_entity
  • BleachHTMLSerializer
  • BleachHTMLTokenizer
  • BleachHTMLParser

  These functions and classes weren't documented and aren't part of the public API, but people read code and might be using them so we're considering it an incompatible API change.

  If you're using them, you'll need to update your code.

Features

• Bleach no longer depends on html5lib. html5lib==1.0.1 is now vendored into Bleach. You can remove it from your requirements file if none of your other requirements require html5lib.

  This means Bleach will now work fine with other libraries that depend on html5lib regardless of what version of html5lib they require. (#386)

Bug fixes

• Fixed tags getting added when using clean or linkify. This was a long-standing regression from the Bleach 2.0 rewrite. (#280, #392)
• Fixed <isindex> getting replaced with a string. Now it gets escaped or stripped depending on whether it's in the allowed tags or not. (#279)

Version 2.1.4 (August 16th, 2018)

Security fixes

None

Backwards incompatible changes

• Dropped support for Python 3.3. (#328)

Features

None

Bug fixes

• Handle ambiguous ampersands in correctly. (#359)

Version 2.1.3 (March 5th, 2018)

Security fixes

• Attributes that have URI values weren't properly sanitized if the values contained character entities. Using character entities, it was possible to construct a URI value with a scheme that was not allowed that would slide through unsanitized.

  This security issue was introduced in Bleach 2.1. Anyone using Bleach 2.1 is highly encouraged to upgrade.

Version 2.1 (September 28th, 2017)

Security fixes

• Convert control characters (backspace particularly) to "?" preventing malicious copy-and-paste situations. (#298)

  See https://github.com/mozilla/bleach/issues/298 for more details.

  This affects all previous versions of Bleach. Check the comments on that issue for ways to alleviate the issue if you can't upgrade to Bleach 2.1.

Backwards incompatible changes

• Redid versioning. bleach.VERSION is no longer available. Use the string version at bleach.__version__ and parse it with pkg_resources.parse_version. (#307)
• clean, linkify: linkify and clean should only accept text types; thank you, Janusz! (#292)
• clean, linkify: accept only unicode or utf-8-encoded str (#176)

Features

Bug fixes

• clarify security policy in docs (#303)
• fix dependency specification for html5lib 1.0b8, 1.0b9, and 1.0b10; thank you, Zoltán! (#268)

Version 2.0 (March 8th, 2017)

Security fixes

• None

Backwards incompatible changes

• Removed support for Python 2.6. #206

• Removed support for Python 3.2. #224

• Bleach no longer supports html5lib < 0.99999999 (8 9s).

  This version is a rewrite to use the new sanitizing API since the old one was dropped in html5lib 0.99999999 (8 9s).

  If you're using 0.9999999 (7 9s) upgrade to 0.99999999 (8 9s) or higher.

  If you're using 1.0b8 (equivalent to 0.9999999 (7 9s)), upgrade to 1.0b9 (equivalent to 0.99999999 (8 9s)) or higher.

• bleach.clean and friends were rewritten

  clean was reimplemented as an html5lib filter and happens at a different step in the HTML parsing -> traversing -> serializing process. Because of that, there are some differences in clean's output as compared with previous versions.

  Amongst other things, this version will add end tags even if the tag in question is to be escaped.

• bleach.clean and friends attribute callables now take three arguments: tag, attribute name and attribute value. Previously they only took attribute name and attribute value.

  All attribute callables will need to be updated.

• bleach.linkify was rewritten

  linkify was reimplemented as an html5lib Filter. As such, it no longer accepts a tokenizer argument.

  The callback functions for adjusting link attributes now takes a namespaced attribute.

  Previously you'd do something like this:

  def check_protocol(attrs, is_new):
      if not attrs.get('href', '').startswith('http:', 'https:')):
          return None
      return attrs
  

  Now it's more like this:

  def check_protocol(attrs, is_new):
      if not attrs.get((None, u'href'), u'').startswith(('http:', 'https:')):
          #            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
          return None
      return attrs
  

  Further, you need to make sure you're always using unicode values. If you don't then html5lib will raise an assertion error that the value is not unicode.

  All linkify filters will need to be updated.

• bleach.linkify and friends had a skip_pre argument--that's been replaced with a more general skip_tags argument.

  Before, you might do:

  bleach.linkify(some_text, skip_pre=True)
  

  The equivalent with Bleach 2.0 is:

  bleach.linkify(some_text, skip_tags=['pre'])
  

  You can skip other tags, too, like style or script or other places where you don't want linkification happening.

  All uses of linkify that use skip_pre will need to be updated.

Changes

• Supports Python 3.6.
• Supports html5lib >= 0.99999999 (8 9s).
• There's a bleach.sanitizer.Cleaner class that you can instantiate with your favorite clean settings for easy reuse.
• There's a bleach.linkifier.Linker class that you can instantiate with your favorite linkify settings for easy reuse.
• There's a bleach.linkifier.LinkifyFilter which is an htm5lib filter that you can pass as a filter to bleach.sanitizer.Cleaner allowing you to clean and linkify in one pass.
• bleach.clean and friends can now take a callable as an attributes arg value.
• Tons of bug fixes.
• Cleaned up tests.
• Documentation fixes.
