In the case of the Tinfoil Security badge, the iframe contains a single image that links to a page.

The sandbox attribute gives us this capability, by allowing you to specify a space-separated list of permissions, with one or more of the following choices.Īllow-same-origin- allows the iframe to access cookies and local storage from the parent, as if it came from the same domain.Īllow-top-navigation – allows the iframe to navigate the parent to a different URL.Īllow-scripts – allows JavaScript executionĪllow-popups – allows the iframe to open new windows or tabs Then, as you determine what things it needs to perform its normal functions, you can enable just those features.

This is a good starting point for securing an iframe.

Read cookies or local storage from the parent, even if it’s from the same origin.

Run any JavaScript, even if it would only affect contents of the iframe.

With this attribute set, the document inside the iframe cannot do any of the following: Just adding the sandbox attribute is enough to severely lock down an iframe. Thankfully, the ability to restrict iframes is supported by IE 10, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. If all you want the iframe to be able to do is present a social network button, there should be a mechanism to prevent it from doing much else. Even so, cross-domain iframes still have the ability to trigger alerts, run plugins (malicious or otherwise), autoplay videos, and present submittable forms in an attempt to phish users’ information. If the iframe comes from a different domain, a browser’s cross-domain policy would kick in, preventing the iframe from accessing cookies, local storage, or the DOM from its embedding document. Presumably, this is safe since it is your own domain and you likely trust (or wrote) this code.

If you embed an iframe from your own domain, the browser does not provide any protections against it.

Surprisingly, Google only offers the “embed our JavaScript in your site” option for its +1 button, and a “you’re on your own” policy if you want to embed it as a hosted iframe, which you would have to host.Īny third-party code that you add directly to your site without the protection of iframes would have all of the same access as your own code. If, alternatively, you add a ‘+1’ or ‘like’ button on your page by pasting some third-party JavaScript directly on your page, that separation is no longer there. The browser effectively treats them like separate tabs. If a parent document tries to style its iframe’s contents with something like the following, nothing will happen.Īlso, neither the iframe nor its parent can access the other’s cookies or local storage. If the iframe document overrides a String.prototype function, for example, the parent document won’t see this override. Neither the parent document nor the iframe document has access to each other’s DOM, CSS styles, or JavaScript functions if they’re not from the same domain. Browsers keep the context of the iframe and its parent document totally separate by default.

Of course, as with many web technologies, there is a right way and a wrong way to use iframes, so I’d like to go over how to securely embed other sites’ contents with iframes, and how to prevent others from attacking your site by embedding your content as an iframe.Įverywhere you look, you see embedded YouTube videos, tweets, like buttons, and of course, the Tinfoil Security badge.Īll of these things are embedded via iframes, or at least should be. In fact, they are the easiest and safest way to embed content from other sites into your page. Yet, iframes are still around, and every indication shows they’re here to stay. These days, with AJAX and WebSockets providing all the interactivity and partial page refresh behavior we could ever need (for now), framesets and frames have long become unnecessary and don’t even exist in HTML5. As a compromise, inline frames (iframes) were introduced as a way to embed frames in an HTML document just like any other element, without being forced to use a frameset. You had the choice of either building your HTML page out of frames or a single body tag-never both. These things called framesets and frames were used to split up a webpage into separate sub-documents-a menu bar frame, a side bar frame, a footer frame-that could each reload on its own so that pages wouldn’t have to be reloaded entirely with every click of a hyperlink. Every time I hear about them it reminds me of the good old days when websites were collections of static pages and internet speeds were measured in kilobits per second.
