Dear LS-Developer,

xss filtering is mandatoryfor us, but videos (self uploaded - YouTube is a no-go) in questions and help texts is the most requested feature at our organization.

LimeSurvey uses HtmlPurifier for xss filtering via yii-framework and the wrapper class CHhtmlPurifier.php. Unfortunately the wrapper class uses the old way to configure HtmlPurifier via an array. To enable video tag (HTML5) we must use the config-object of HtmlPurifier. The trick is:

1. change function getPurifier of CHtmlPurifier.php (line 113 - framework/web/widget) from proteced to public - so we can get to the configuration of the internal _purifier.
2. add some code to LSYii_Validators.php (130ff - application/core) - see uploaded file

My approach was to change classes from the yii-framework only minimal and add the maximum changes to the core code of LimeSurvey.

I tried to add a branch "xss_enable_video" to LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey to create a pull request afterwards, but

$ git push --set-upstream origin xss_enable_video
remote: Permission to LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey.git denied to jackewitz.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

Hope, you can think about und maybe integrate it in LimeSurvey.

Best wishes .. Iver
