function FilterUnitTestCase::testFilterXSS

Tests limiting allowed tags and XSS prevention.

XSS tests assume that script is disallowed by default and src is allowed by default, but on* and style attributes are disallowed.

Script injection vectors mostly adopted from http://ha.ckers.org/xss.html.

Relevant CVEs:

  • CVE-2002-1806, ~CVE-2005-0682, ~CVE-2005-2106, CVE-2005-3973, CVE-2006-1226 (= rev. 1.112?), CVE-2008-0273, CVE-2008-3740.
