Download Of Was Blocked Because The Triggering Iframe Has The Sandbox Flag Set Extra Quality

It is because the frame itself is being sandboxed but the script is being called prior to the form being submitted which triggers submission of the frame but since the user wouldn't be able to submit, it wont call the iframe properties to respect the attribute set there

If you inspect element on GMail, you will notice iFrames everywhere. The sandbox attribute is not always automatically attached, because the sandbox attribute controls what is allowed.

To make it clear: I want the URLs to be clickable links, so I implemented the URLs as links. So it is not the problem that the URLs are links, but that these links do not work because of blocked scripts on the websites when I use the links with left click.

It should give an error saying: Blocked script execution in '' because the document's frame is sandboxed and the 'allow-scripts' permission is not set.

Please take a look at the attached image for the expected behavior.

The allow-scripts in Jun's earlier bug was irrelevant to the underlying issue, only used for convenience because of the way he wrote the testcase. He used scripts to trigger the navigation, whereas you used a manual click. Opening an external protocol is not "running scripts", at least not running web scripts in that web site's context which is the point of the sandbox. "scripty things" might happen though. It's also not technically a "pop-up" in the web sense, but it does cause the experience of "things open up unexpectedly". It feels wrong, which is why there's an HTML issue about it. The question to be resolved is trying to figure out whether it fits under one of the current categories of wrong or if it needs its own enabling keyword, or whether we should just block it full-stop.

This is not the point of a sandboxed iframe. The above can already happen through malvertising or any number of ways that are not sandboxed. The sandbox is to protect the hosting web site from being harmed in case they are framing untrusted 3rd party content. It not at all clear how these protocol handlers harm the hosting web site. They certainly can annoy users, and possibly be a vector for attack if there's a known bug in that protocol handler (or even a privacy leak even if there is not a "bug" in the handler).

The case here is that we should actually be blocking external handler in iframe as one can do nefarious work with it. Like we block tel: URI in the iframe similarly Microsoft-edge should be blocked despite having a sandbox attribute there.

The generated iframe code currently inclides sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-forms allow-popups". I have tried adding the allow-downloads attribute in a custom iframe code, but the attribute is removed by Story Maps automatically.

The PDF and Excel files are created client side using different JS libraries. Both libraries are dependent on being able to initiate a file download through code, which is what is being blocked by the iframe sandbox. This is the cleanest solution, as everything runs on the client machine. Alternatively, we need to create and store the exports server side, provide a link to the user and then remove the exported files from the server once the file is downloaded. This is a bit messy and requires a rewrite of the exporting using server side libraries, which we would rather avoid if possible.

Recently Google Chrome updated their functionality for sandbox iframes with preventing downloads at sanbox iframe. "We plan to prevent downloads initiated from sandboxed iframes, and this restriction could be lifted via an 'allow-downloads' keyword, if present in the sandbox attribute list."

As Microsoft Teams - presonal/ tab app are invoked their downloads from sandbox iframe, all downloads are failed at Google Chrome version 83 and hire . Does anyone know , Microsoft Teams dev will enable the flag "allow-downloads" for Teams sandbox atribute list ?

Allows a sandboxed document to open new windows without forcing the sandboxing flags upon them. This will allow, for example, a third-party advertisement to be safely sandboxed without forcing the same restrictions upon the page the ad links to.

For a situation when the sandbox attribute is configured, and one feature is not working correctly within the resource, it might be because it lacks a specific flag. Make sure you know more about them to debug things quickly.

Also, keep in mind that using an empty sandbox attribute will fully sandbox the iframe. This means that the JavaScript inside the iframe will not be executed, and all the privileges listed above will be restricted (like creating new windows or loading a plugin).

There is a lot to be said about WCAG conformance an iframes. Technique H64: Using the title attribute of the frame and iframe elements ( -TECHS/H64.html) addresses how this applies to WCAG Success Criteria 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks (level A) and 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (level A). While conformance is more nuanced than a pass/fail, at least acknowledging the challenge and risk of being flagged by automated accessibility testing tools should be in this article.

The sandbox attribute of the iframe elementgives us just what we need to tighten the restrictions on framed content. We caninstruct the browser to load a specific frame's content in a low-privilegeenvironment, allowing only the subset of capabilities necessary to do whateverwork needs doing.

Sandboxing works on the basis of a whitelist. We begin by removing allpermissions possible, and then turn individual capabilities back on by addingspecific flags to the sandbox's configuration. For the Twitter widget, we'vedecided to enable JavaScript, popups, form submission, and twitter.com'scookies. We can do so by adding a sandbox attribute to the iframe with thefollowing value:

This is nicely draconian, and a document loaded into a fully sandboxed iframeposes very little risk indeed. Of course, it also can't do much of value: youmight be able to get away with a full sandbox for some static content, but mostof the time you'll want to loosen things up a bit.

With the exception of plugins, each of these restrictions can be lifted byadding a flag to the sandbox attribute's value. Sandboxed documents can neverrun plugins, as plugins are unsandboxed native code, but everything else is fairgame:

One important thing to note is that the sandboxing flags applied to a frame alsoapply to any windows or frames created in the sandbox. This means that we haveto add allow-forms to the frame's sandbox, even though the form only existsin the window that the frame pops up.

With the sandbox attribute in place, the widget gets only the permissions itrequires, and capabilities like plugins, top navigation, and pointer lock remainblocked. We've reduced the risk of embedding the widget, with no ill-effects.It's a win for everyone concerned.

With sandboxing and thepostMessage API, thesuccess of this model is fairly straightforward to apply to the web. Pieces ofyour application can live in sandboxed iframes, and the parent document canbroker communication between them by posting messages and listening forresponses. This sort of structure ensures that exploits in any one piece of theapp do the minimum damage possible. It also has the advantage of forcing you tocreate clear integration points, so you know exactly where you need to becareful about validating input and output. Let's walk through a toy example,just to see how that might work.

In the handler, we grab the source attribute of the event, which is the parentwindow. We'll use this to send the result of our hard work back up once we'redone. Then we'll do the heavy lifting, by passing the data we've been given intoeval(). This call has been wrapped up in a try block, as banned operationsinside a sandboxed iframe will frequently generate DOM exceptions; we'll catchthose and report a friendly error message instead. Finally, we post the resultback to the parent window. This is pretty straightforward stuff.

Note, however, that you need to be very careful when dealing with framed contentthat comes from the same origin as the parent. If a page on frames another page on the same origin with a sandboxthat includes both the allow-same-origin and allow-scripts flags, thenthe framed page can reach up into the parent, and remove the sandbox attributeentirely.

Sandboxing is available for you now in a variety of browsers: Firefox 17+,IE10+, and Chrome at the time of writing (caniuse, of course, has an up-to-datesupport table). Applying the sandboxattribute to iframes you include allows you to grant certain privileges to thecontent they display, only those privileges which are necessary for thecontent to function correctly. This gives you the opportunity to reduce the riskassociated with the inclusion of third-party content, above and beyond what isalready possible with Content SecurityPolicy.

Sandboxing can be even more flexible when combined with two other new iframeattributes: srcdoc,and seamless.The former allows you to populate a frame with content without the overhead ofan HTTP request, and the latter allows style to flow into the framed content.Both have fairly miserable browser support at the moment (Chrome and WebKitnightlies). but will be an interesting combination in the future. You could,for example, sandbox comments on an article via the following code:

The sandbox attribute, when specified, enables a set of extra restrictions on any content hosted by the iframe. Its value must be an unordered set of unique space-separated tokens. The allowed values are allow-same-origin, allow-top-navigation, allow-forms, and allow-scripts. When the attribute is set, the content is treated as being from a unique origin, forms and scripts are disabled, links are prevented from targeting other browsing contexts, and plugins are disabled. The allow-same-origin keyword allows the content to be treated as being from the same origin instead of forcing it into a unique origin, the allow-top-navigation keyword allows the content to navigate its top-level browsing context, and the allow-forms and allow-scripts keywords re-enable forms and scripts respectively (though scripts are still prevented from creating popups). ff782bc1db
