 It may be tempting to get caught up in the dream of writing the next package which is published to npm and downloaded millions of times a week. Knowing the quality of developers that are working on Kibana, this is a real possibility. However, knowing which packages will see mass adoption is impossible to predict. Instead of jumping directly to writing code in a separate repo and accepting all of the complications that come along with it, prefer keeping code inside the Kibana repo. A [Kibana package](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/master/packages) can be used to publish a package to npm, while still keeping the code inside the Kibana repo. Move code to an external repo only when there is a good reason, for example to enable external contributions.
 
-## Hardening
-
-Review the following items related to vulnerability and security risks.
-
-- XSS
-  - Check for usages of `dangerouslySetInnerHtml`, `Element.innerHTML`, `Element.outerHTML`
-  - Ensure all user input is properly escaped.
-  - Ensure any input in `$.html`, `$.append`, `$.appendTo`, $.prepend`, `$.prependTo`is escaped. Instead use`$.text`, or don't use jQuery at all.
-- CSRF
-  - Ensure all APIs are running inside the Kibana HTTP service.
-- RCE
-  - Ensure no usages of `eval`
-  - Ensure no usages of dynamic requires
-  - Check for template injection
-  - Check for usages of templating libraries, including `_.template`, and ensure that user provided input isn't influencing the template and is only used as data for rendering the template.
-  - Check for possible prototype pollution.
-- Prototype Pollution - more info [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/19V-d9sb6IF-fbzF4iyiPpAropQNydCnoJApzSX5FdcI/edit?usp=sharing)
-  - Check for instances of `anObject[a][b] = c` where a, b, and c are user defined. This includes code paths where the following logical code steps could be performed in separate files by completely different operations, or recursively using dynamic operations.
-  - Validate any user input, including API url-parameters/query-parameters/payloads, preferable against a schema which only allows specific keys/values. At a very minimum, black-list `__proto__` and `prototype.constructor` for use within keys
-  - When calling APIs which spawn new processes or potentially perform code generation from strings, defensively protect against Prototype Pollution by checking `Object.hasOwnProperty` if the arguments to the APIs originate from an Object. An example is the Code app's [spawnProcess](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/b49192626a8528af5d888545fb14cd1ce66a72e7/x-pack/legacy/plugins/code/server/lsp/workspace_command.ts#L40-L44).
-    - Common Node.js offenders: `child_process.spawn`, `child_process.exec`, `eval`, `Function('some string')`, `vm.runIn*Context(x)`
-    - Common Client-side offenders: `eval`, `Function('some string')`, `setTimeout('some string', num)`, `setInterval('some string', num)`
-- Check for accidental reveal of sensitive information
-  - The biggest culprit is errors which contain stack traces or other sensitive information which end up in the HTTP Response
-- Checked for Mishandled API requests
-  - Ensure no sensitive cookies are forwarded to external resources.
-  - Ensure that all user controllable variables that are used in constructing a URL are escaped properly. This is relevant when using `transport.request` with the Elasticsearch client as no automatic escaping is performed.
-- Reverse tabnabbing - https://github.com/OWASP/CheatSheetSeries/blob/master/cheatsheets/HTML5_Security_Cheat_Sheet.md#tabnabbing
-  - When there are user controllable links or hard-coded links to third-party domains that specify target="\_blank" or target="\_window", the `a` tag should have the rel="noreferrer noopener" attribute specified.
-  - Allowing users to input markdown is a common culprit, a custom link renderer should be used
-- SSRF - https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Server_Side_Request_Forgery
-  - All network requests made from the Kibana server should use an explicit configuration or white-list specified in the `kibana.yml`
+## Security best practices
+
+When writing code for Kibana, be sure to follow these best practices to avoid common vulnerabilities. Refer to the included Open Web
+Application Security Project (OWASP) references to learn more about these types of attacks.
+
+### Cross-site Scripting (XSS)
+
+[_OWASP reference for XSS_](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/xss)
+
+XSS is a class of attacks where malicious scripts are injected into vulnerable websites. Kibana defends against this by using the React
+framework to safely encode data that is rendered in pages, the EUI framework to [automatically sanitize
+links](https://elastic.github.io/eui/#/navigation/link#link-validation), and a restrictive `Content-Security-Policy` header.
+
+**Best practices**
+
+* Check for dangerous functions or assignments that can result in unescaped user input in the browser DOM. Avoid using:
+  * **React:** [`dangerouslySetInnerHtml`](https://reactjs.org/docs/dom-elements.html#dangerouslysetinnerhtml).
+  * **Browser DOM:** `Element.innerHTML` and `Element.outerHTML`.
+* If using the aforementioned unsafe functions or assignments is absolutely necessary, follow [these XSS prevention
+rules](https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Cross_Site_Scripting_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet.html#xss-prevention-rules) to ensure that
+user input is not inserted into unsafe locations and that it is escaped properly.
+* Use EUI components to build your UI, particularly when rendering `href` links. Otherwise, sanitize user input before rendering links to
+ensure that they do not use the `javascript:` protocol.
+* Don't use the `eval`, `Function`, and `_.template` functions -- these are restricted by ESLint rules.
+* Be careful when using `setTimeout` and `setInterval` in client-side code. If an attacker can manipulate the arguments and pass a string to
+one of these, it is evaluated dynamically, which is equivalent to the dangerous `eval` function.
+
+### Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF/XSRF)
+
+[_OWASP reference for CSRF_](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/csrf)
+
+CSRF is a class of attacks where a user is forced to execute an action on a vulnerable website that they're logged into, usually without
+their knowledge. Kibana defends against this by requiring [custom request
+headers](https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Cross-Site_Request_Forgery_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet.html#use-of-custom-request-headers)
+for API endpoints. For more information, see [API Request
+Headers](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/api.html#api-request-headers).
+
+**Best practices**
+
+* Ensure all HTTP routes are registered with the [Kibana HTTP service](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/http-service.html) to
+take advantage of the custom request header security control.
+  * Note that HTTP GET requests do **not** require the custom request header; any routes that change data should [adhere to the HTTP
+specification and use a different method (PUT, POST, etc.)](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods)
+
+### Remote Code Execution (RCE)
+
+[_OWASP reference for Command Injection_](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Command_Injection),
+[_OWASP reference for Code Injection_](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Code_Injection)
+
+RCE is a class of attacks where an attacker executes malicious code or commands on a vulnerable server. Kibana defends against this by using
+ESLint rules to restrict vulnerable functions, and by hooking into or hardening usage of these in third-party dependencies.
+
+**Best practices**
+
+* Don't use the `eval`, `Function`, and `_.template` functions -- these are restricted by ESLint rules.
+* Don't use dynamic `require`.
+* Check for usages of templating libraries. Ensure that user-provided input doesn't influence the template and is used only as data for
+rendering the template.
+* Take extra caution when spawning child processes with any user input or parameters that are user-controlled.
+
+### Prototype Pollution
+
+Prototype Pollution is an attack that is unique to JavaScript environments. Attackers can abuse JavaScript's prototype inheritance to
+"pollute" objects in the application, which is often used as a vector for XSS or RCE vulnerabilities. Kibana defends against this by
+hardening sensitive functions (such as those exposed by `child_process`), and by requiring validation on all HTTP routes by default.
+
+**Best practices**
+
+* Check for instances of `anObject[a][b] = c` where `a`, `b`, and `c` are controlled by user input. This includes code paths where the
+following logical code steps could be performed in separate files by completely different operations, or by recursively using dynamic
+operations.
+* Validate all user input, including API URL parameters, query parameters, and payloads. Preferably, use a schema that only allows specific
+keys and values. At a minimum, implement a deny-list that prevents `__proto__` and `prototype.constructor` from being used within object
+keys.
+* When calling APIs that spawn new processes or perform code generation from strings, protect against Prototype Pollution by checking if
+`Object.hasOwnProperty` has arguments to the APIs that originate from an Object. An example is the defunct Code app's
+[`spawnProcess`](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/b49192626a8528af5d888545fb14cd1ce66a72e7/x-pack/legacy/plugins/code/server/lsp/workspace_command.ts#L40-L44)
+function.
+  * Common Node.js offenders: `child_process.spawn`, `child_process.exec`, `eval`, `Function('some string')`, `vm.runInContext(x)`,
+`vm.runInNewContext(x)`, `vm.runInThisContext()`
+  * Common client-side offenders: `eval`, `Function('some string')`, `setTimeout('some string', num)`, `setInterval('some string', num)`
+

+Arteau](https://github.com/HoLyVieR/prototype-pollution-nsec18/blob/master/paper/JavaScript_prototype_pollution_attack_in_NodeJS.pdf)
+
+### Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
+
+[_OWASP reference for SSRF_](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Server_Side_Request_Forgery)
+
+SSRF is a class of attacks where a vulnerable server is forced to make an unintended request, usually to an HTTP API. This is often used as
+a vector for information disclosure or injection attacks.
+
+**Best practices**
+
+* Ensure that all outbound requests from the Kibana server use hard-coded URLs.
+* If user input is used to construct a URL for an outbound request, ensure that an allow-list is used to validate the endpoints and that
+user input is escaped properly. Ideally, the allow-list should be set in `kibana.yml`, so only server administrators can change it.
+  * This is particularly relevant when using `transport.request` with the Elasticsearch client, as no automatic escaping is performed.
+  * Note that URLs are very hard to validate properly; exact match validation for user input is most preferable, while URL parsing or RegEx
+validation should only be used if absolutely necessary.
+
+### Reverse tabnabbing
+
+[_OWASP reference for Reverse Tabnabbing_](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Reverse_Tabnabbing)
+
+Reverse tabnabbing is an attack where a link to a malicious page is used to rewrite a vulnerable parent page. This is often used as a vector
+for phishing attacks. Kibana defends against this by using the EUI framework, which automatically adds the `rel` attribute to anchor tags,
+buttons, and other vulnerable DOM elements.
+
+**Best practices**
+
+* Use EUI components to build your UI whenever possible. Otherwise, ensure that any DOM elements that have an `href` attribute also have the
+`rel="noreferrer noopener"` attribute specified. For more information, refer to the [OWASP HTML5 Security Cheat
+Sheet](https://github.com/OWASP/CheatSheetSeries/blob/master/cheatsheets/HTML5_Security_Cheat_Sheet.md#tabnabbing).
+* If using a non-EUI markdown renderer, use a custom link renderer for rendered links.
+
+### Information disclosure
+
+Information disclosure is not an attack, but it describes whenever sensitive information is accidentally revealed. This can be configuration
+info, stack traces, or other data that the user is not authorized to access. This concern cannot be addressed with a single security
+control, but at a high level, Kibana relies on the hapi framework to automatically redact stack traces and detailed error messages in HTTP
+5xx response payloads.
+
+**Best practices**
+
+* Look for instances where sensitive information might accidentally be revealed, particularly in error messages, in the UI, and URL
+parameters that are exposed to users.
+* Make sure that sensitive request data is not forwarded to external resources. For example, copying client request headers and using them
+to make an another request could accidentally expose the user's credentials.
