Description Daniel Bates 2009-09-19 14:50:47 PDT
The method FrameLoader::executeIfJavaScriptURL decodes the URL escape sequences in a JavaScript URL before it is eventually passed to the XSSAuditor. Because the XSSAuditor also decodes the URL escape sequences as part of its canonicalization, the double decoding of a JavaScript URL would not match the canonicalization of the input parameters.

+ m_frame->script()->isEnabled() && !m_frame->script()->isPaused()

Why did we add these conditions that weren't there before?

Can we remove any of the other instances of canEvaluateJavaScriptURL?

This is an optimization.

I added these so that we can avoid calling the XSSAuditor when scripts aren't enabled or paused. Notice, these cases are checked in FrameLoader::executeScript and at present (i.e. without this patch) the XSSAuditor is only called after these cases are checked.

Because we now call the XSSAuditor in FrameLoader::executeIfJavaScriptURL, in particular before calling executeScript, we can save some processing time/function call, by only calling the XSSAuditor when scripts are enabled and not paused.

> Can we remove any of the other instances of canEvaluateJavaScriptURL?

Yes, I can clean up ScriptSourceController
Comment 4 Daniel Bates 2009-09-19 16:15:50 PDT
I meant, cleanup ScriptController.

Cleaned up ScriptController.

I think this optimization might be slightly premature.  Those cases aren't very common, and the added complexity probably isn't worth it.

Other than that, the patch looks good.  Can you post a version without these checks?

On Adam's remarks, removed checks m_frame->script()->isEnabled(),  m_frame->script()->isPaused() from patch
