4The Jinja sandbox can be used to evaluate untrusted code.  Access to unsafe
5attributes and methods is prohibited.
6
7Assuming `env` is a :class:`SandboxedEnvironment` in the default configuration
8the following piece of code shows how it works:
9
10>>> env.from_string("{{ func.func_code }}").render(func=lambda:None)
11u''
12>>> env.from_string("{{ func.func_code.do_something }}").render(func=lambda:None)
13Traceback (most recent call last):
14  ...
15SecurityError: access to attribute 'func_code' of 'function' object is unsafe.

39    The Jinja sandbox alone is no solution for perfect security.  Especially
40    for web applications you have to keep in mind that users may create
41    templates with arbitrary HTML in so it's crucial to ensure that (if you
42    are running multiple users on the same server) they can't harm each other
43    via JavaScript insertions and much more.
44
45    Also the sandbox is only as good as the configuration.  We strongly
46    recommend only passing non-shared resources to the template and use
47    some sort of whitelisting for attributes.
48
49    Also keep in mind that templates may raise runtime or compile time errors,
50    so make sure to catch them.

52Operator Intercepting
53---------------------
54
55.. versionadded:: 2.6
56
57For maximum performance Jinja will let operators call directly the type
58specific callback methods.  This means that it's not possible to have this
59intercepted by overriding :meth:`Environment.call`.  Furthermore a
60conversion from operator to special method is not always directly possible
61due to how operators work.  For instance for divisions more than one
62special method exist.
63
64With Jinja 2.6 there is now support for explicit operator intercepting.
65This can be used to customize specific operators as necessary.  In order
66to intercept an operator one has to override the
67:attr:`SandboxedEnvironment.intercepted_binops` attribute.  Once the
68operator that needs to be intercepted is added to that set Jinja will
69generate bytecode that calls the :meth:`SandboxedEnvironment.call_binop`
70function.  For unary operators the `unary` attributes and methods have to
71be used instead.
72
73The default implementation of :attr:`SandboxedEnvironment.call_binop`
74will use the :attr:`SandboxedEnvironment.binop_table` to translate
75operator symbols into callbacks performing the default operator behavior.
76
77This example shows how the power (``**``) operator can be disabled in
78Jinja::
79
80    from jinja2.sandbox import SandboxedEnvironment
81
82
83    class MyEnvironment(SandboxedEnvironment):
84        intercepted_binops = frozenset(['**'])
85
86        def call_binop(self, context, operator, left, right):
87            if operator == '**':
88                return self.undefined('the power operator is unavailable')
89            return SandboxedEnvironment.call_binop(self, context,
90                                                   operator, left, right)
91
92Make sure to always call into the super method, even if you are not
93intercepting the call.  Jinja might internally call the method to
94evaluate expressions.
