**Sanitization of HTML uploads**
4+
5+
During the last few IETF meetings, there have been a few cases of agenda and
6+
minutes uploads that have not worked well, for various reasons. Some have
7+
unintentionally used frames, and failed to include the frame contents; some
8+
have used iframes, which pulls the actual content from elsewhere, which
9+
means it won't actually be saved on the IETF servers and archived. There
10+
has also been issues relating to styling and use of javascript. This shows,
11+
of course, that malicious uploads (even if unintentional) are possible.
12+
13+
Considering this, it seems that a good and general approach would be to do
14+
what is often called 'sanitization' of uploaded html content. (Uploaded
15+
text and markdown documents won't be affected).
16+
17+
This release introduces such sanitization.
18+
19+
The cost of this is that if you upload agendas and minutes in HTML format,
20+
you will need to check the results after upload, to make sure that the
21+
agenda and minutes still captures your intent after the sanitization.
22+
23+
Additionally, there is, as usual, some other features and bugfixes:

* Added sanitization of uploaded html content for session agendas and
626
minutes, and did some refactoring of the upload form classes.
