Solution to the problem of CI automatically filtering out the last two digits of percent sign _PHP tutorial

In the website made by CodeIgniter, I want to enter a piece of code:

$var = sprintf("%04d", 2);

But I found that after entering the library, the code changed to

$var = sprintf("d", 2);

I tested it in both online environment and local environment, and it was finally confirmed that it was a problem with the CodeIgniter system. Let’s talk about the problem-solving process and thinking methods:

1. Is it permitted_uri_chars of config.php?

$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_\-';

I found several similar questions on stackoverflow, and some answers said that just change permitted_uri_chars in config.php.

Ahem... after looking at your sample string again. Here is why you get "The URI you submitted has disallowed characters".

Short explanation: Add the ampersand & to the allowed characters list

$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_+&-';

I tried it, but it didn’t work, so I looked for the code that applied $config['permitted_uri_chars'].

2. Is it a problem with the _clean_input_keys() function of core/Input.php?

	function _clean_input_keys($str)   
	{   
		$config = &get_config('config');   
		if ( ! preg_match("/^[".$config['permitted_uri_chars']."]+$/i", rawurlencode($str)))   
		{   
			exit('Disallowed Key Characters.');   
		}   
		
		// Clean UTF-8 if supported
		if (UTF8_ENABLED === TRUE)
		{
			$str = $this->uni->clean_string($str);
		}
		return $str;   
	} 

This function uses $config['permitted_uri_chars'] to directly filter the post data. The main reason is the culprit. I separated it and found after testing that post $var = sprintf("%04d", 2);, the result is still $var = sprintf("%04d", 2);, %04 has not been filtered, see You have to look for it carefully.

3. Is it a defense mechanism for xss?

Someone on stackoverflow said that he solved this problem perfectly and it was caused by xss clean.

:) God damn URLDECODE, I have looked at the code in URI.php but the xss clean is doing the job so I missed it. Thank you now everything is perfect. – RaduM

So I found the xss_clean() function under core/security.php. Comment out all the function body code and find that the input will still filter out %04, which is obviously not a problem with xss.

4. The problem lies in the _clean_input_data() function

Go back to Input.php and find that _clean_input_data is related to _clean_input_keys.

$new_array[$this->_clean_input_keys($key)] = $this->_clean_input_data($val);

So I commented out the function body of _clean_input_data(), and the input was not filtered. Continuing to narrow down the scope, I found that this code was causing trouble:

// Remove control characters
// 就是这个会把%0x过滤掉
$str = remove_invisible_characters($str);

5. The culprit found the remove_invisible_characters() function

So what is the remove_invisible_characters() function?

This function is in core/Common.php, I pulled it out:

	function remove_invisible_characters($str, $url_encoded = TRUE)
	{
		$non_displayables = array();
		
		// every control character except newline (dec 10)
		// carriage return (dec 13), and horizontal tab (dec 09)
		
		if ($url_encoded)
		{
			$non_displayables[] = '/%0[0-8bcef]/';	// url encoded 00-08, 11, 12, 14, 15
			$non_displayables[] = '/%1[0-9a-f]/';	// url encoded 16-31
		}
		
		$non_displayables[] = '/[\x00-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x1F\x7F]+/S';	// 00-08, 11, 12, 14-31, 127

		do
		{
			$str = preg_replace($non_displayables, '', $str, -1, $count);
		}
		while ($count);

		return $str;
	}

Look at these lines of code:

if ($url_encoded)
{
	$non_displayables[] = '/%0[0-8bcef]/';	// url encoded 00-08, 11, 12, 14, 15
	$non_displayables[] = '/%1[0-9a-f]/';	// url encoded 16-31
}

Let’s be clear, it will filter out the three characters starting with %0 and %1. Just comment this out and the problem will be solved.

Record the entire thinking process of solving this problem.
