# htmx Security

Use this skill before shipping htmx features that render user content, accept rich HTML, add third-party scripts, change Content Security Policy, or expose new mutation endpoints.

## Threat Model

htmx keeps rendering on the server, but unsafe HTML is still unsafe HTML. A fragment swap can insert scripts, event handlers, dangerous URLs, or htmx attributes that cause requests. Treat every fragment as executable browser surface unless it is escaped or sanitized.

## Baseline Rules

- Escape user-supplied text by default.
- Sanitize rich HTML on the server with a strict allowlist.
- Strip or block `hx-*`, `data-hx-*`, `hx-on`, inline event handlers, `script`, dangerous URLs, and style features that the product does not explicitly allow.
- Keep auth, authorization, and validation on the server.
