C# - ValidateRequest="false" Is Acting Wierd?
Apr 4, 2011
(ASP.NET 4.0 C#)
I have my <httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" /> in the webconfig. AndI have my validateRequest="false" in page directories.On one page, I send some data (html) from a ckeditor (textarea) to a database. Works fine.On another page I fill the ckeditor with data from a database, then I update it (send it back), and I get the famous "A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client."
Makes me very confused. The only difference is that on the second page the data gets dynamically inserted into the textarea, where on the first page the textarea is empty on pageload. Am i missing something here? Im pretty sure Encoding/decoding doesnt mean anything, as the framework stops it before I can even start messing with it on the backend.

I m using transactionscope and there was no problem until my domain changed.When it hits the scope7, it inserts the data and starts all over again and inserts for the second time.
Here is my sample code:
Using scope7 = New TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.RequiresNew)
Dim comm As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("INSERT INTO ABC (ID, AID, Type) VALUES (@ID, @AID, @Type)", conn)
comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ID", TaskID)
comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@AID", FormID)
comm.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Type", FormType)
conn.Open()
comm.ExecuteNonQuery()
scope7.Complete()

I'm using FreeTextBox HTML editor in some webforms in my asp.net project . if I do not set ValidateRequest property to false I get this error :
A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client
It's OK in admin folder though , Because only authorized users have access to work with it . But how about public pages like sections where every users have access to leave comments(using FreeTextBox for collecting users comment ) ? Isn't risky for XSS Attack ? If the answer is not Yes , So what's ValidateRequest property for?

FYI I am using .NET 4.0 / MVC 3. In my controller, the following is my code:
[HttpPost]
[ValidateInput(false)]
public ViewResult Edit(ContentTemplateView contentTemplateView, FormCollection collection)
Everything works fine when I don't enter HTML, so I know the proper controller is being fired. Also, I have following set properly in my web.config files:
<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0"/>
I only get this problem when I include the FormCollection (which is needed for this particular Controller). So what exactly am I doing wrong? [I have done what was proposed on the following questions, and they work as long as there is no FormCollection. None of them offer a solution with an included FormCollection] Why is ValidateInput(False) not working? Asp.Net MVC Input Validation still firing after being disabled ValidateInput Attribute Doesn't Seem To Work in ASP.NET MVC

I'm using a php script to http post some xml files to a .net URL.
When I submit I get the response:
A potentially dangerous Request.Form
value was detected from the client
(<?xml version="...UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE
cXML SYSTE...").
Description: Request Validation has detected a potentially dangerous client input value, and
processing of the request has been aborted. This value may indicate an attempt to compromise the security of your application, such as a cross-site scripting attack. You can disable request validation by setting validateRequest=false in the Page directive or in the configuration section. However, it is strongly recommended that your application explicitly check all inputs in this case.
As I'm not using .NET I can't set ValidateRequest="false" in web.config.
Do I need to sanitize my xml before submitiing? How can I do this?

I have an app that was originally running fine in ASP.Net 3.5, using the ValidateRequest set to false to allow HTML to be saved from a rich text box. However, after converting the app to 4.0, I am getting the Potentially Dangerous message, even though both the page and web.config have the value set to false.
I went into the page and created a PagesSection object and checked its value and then set the value to false. Everytime the page is hit (postback or new) the value is always returned as true, until I set it to false. Not sure why it is reverting to true.

When I set fckEditor to Some Value like
fckDescription.Value = "Description Text";
It creates problems such as Update Panel not doing Async PostBack for DropDownList control and gives error when DropDownList selection changes:Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: An unknown error occurred while processing the request on the server. The status code returned from the server was: 500
But when I Comment out these lines
// fckDescription.Value = "Description Text";
It Works Fine... I am wondering why it is so !!?!!
Also, fckEditor is outside UpdatePanel and DropDownList Control is inside UpdatePanel.

Do sites like Stackoverflow or asp.net use validateRequest= "false" at their page directive? If "Yes" then how they are checking the user input and if "NO" then how they are able to postback the data ?

I'm wanting to allow users to enter HTML in only a single textbox. I understand it's possible to change ValidateRequest in the Page directive to false in order to remove protection.I'm guessing that this allows HTML to be entered in any textbox on the page. Is there anyway to apply ValidateRequest=False on only a single control?

I understand I can use validateRequest="false" to by pass ASP.NET security. I'd like to know what security issues setting this flag may cause. Can I be 100% sure there won't be any issue as long as I encode the input using a XSS library?

I am using Radio buttons inside a panel in a web page. (Since group boxes are not there). But when I click on each radio button they all are checked. They are not acting as a group but single units.

So I have two pictures of the weirdness that is occuring.As you can see in the picture above, the scroll bar on the right hand side is being cut off a little bit by the screen, and even when you scroll to the right, you don't get the bar back, it remains cut off.
Here is the other scenario:
Here, you can see that when I scroll down in this grid, the scroll bar kind of fits into the bottom of the grid and doesn't even go all the way down. You need to manually click into the grid and hit the down arrow to get the rest of the way down.
Edit: Here is the code to generate the grid (Ext created through VB controls):
Dim VehicleOptionsGrid As New Akcelerant.Framework.WebControls.Grids.Grid
With VehicleOptionsGrid
.ID = "VehicleOptionsGrid"[code].....

On some links on my HTML page I have a special CSS class, that when clicked, I make a ajax call to a click.aspx page and track the click.
<a href="..." class="click" id="blah-1">blah-1</a>
$(".click").bind("click", function() {[code]....
So what is happening is the value of source, after clicking a few links (that open in a new window) becomes:
source=blah1
then it becomes
source=blah1,blah2

My ASP.NET page contains "ValidateRequest = true". However, there is one textbox in the page for which I don't want ASP.NET to validate. Is there a way to make it false for that one control? If there isn't, is there a way to ignore the "Potential Threat" error, assuming it comes from that particular control?

In the notes for Step 1 in the "How To: Prevent Cross-Site Scripting in ASP.NET" it is stated that you should "not rely on ASP.NET request validation. Treat it as an extra precautionary measure in addition to your own input validation."

What is the difference between enableEventValidation and validateRequest? Although the former is on postback/callback caused by a control (Server side only I assume?, the latter is on every request, which is caused by a control posting back anyway? Or would validateRequest kick in by a standard html link being clicked?

I've got a ajax page with 2 panels on it. On Panel1 there is a next button. On that panel there is a pref. button and a next button. But if i put the pref. button he should do an action, but thats not possible because there are requestedfieldvalidators on that page. So i need to fill the page first, and then i can go back.
But on the next i want the validators. How can i make this possible?
