## Iframes in XSS
There are 3 ways to indicate the content of an iframed page:
* Via `src` indicating an URL (the URL may be cross origin or same origin)
* Via `src` indicating the content using the `data:` protocol
* Via `srcdoc` indicating the content
**Accesing Parent & Child vars**
```html
```
```html
```
If you access the previous html via a http server (like `python3 -m http.server`) you will notice that all the scripts will be executed (as there is no CSP preventing it)., **the parent wonβt be able to access the `secret` var inside any iframe** and **only the iframes if2 & if3 (which are considered to be same-site) can access the secret** in the original window.\
Note how if4 is considered to have `null` origin.
### Iframes with CSP
{% hint style="info" %}
Please, note how in the following bypasses the response to the iframed page doesn't contain any CSP header that prevents JS execution.
{% endhint %}
The `self` value of `script-src` wonβt allow the execution of the JS code using the `data:` protocol or the `srcdoc` attribute.\
However, even the `none` value of the CSP will allow the execution of the iframes that put a URL (complete or just the path) in the `src` attribute.\
Therefore itβs possible to bypass the CSP of a page with:
```html
```
Note how the **previous CSP only permits the execution of the inline script**.\
However, **only `if1` and `if2` scripts are going to be executed but only `if1` will be able to access the parent secret**.

Therefore, itβs possible to **bypass a CSP if you can upload a JS file to the server and load it via iframe even with `script-src 'none'`**. This can **potentially be also done abusing a same-site JSONP endpoint**.
You can test this with the following scenario were a cookie is stolen even with `script-src 'none'`. Just run the application and access it with your browser:
```python
import flask
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/")
def index():
resp = flask.Response('')
resp.headers['Content-Security-Policy'] = "script-src 'self'"
resp.headers['Set-Cookie'] = 'secret=THISISMYSECRET'
return resp
@app.route("/cookie_s.html")
def cookie_s():
return ""
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
```
### Other Payloads found on the wild
```html
```
### Iframe sandbox
The `sandbox` attribute enables an extra set of restrictions for the content in the iframe. **By default, no restriction is applied.**
When the `sandbox` attribute is present, and it will:
* treat the content as being from a unique origin
* block form submission
* block script execution
* disable APIs
* prevent links from targeting other browsing contexts
* prevent content from using plugins (through `
