+# Prevent usage of `javascript:` URLs (react/jsx-no-script-url)
+
+**In React 16.9** any URLs starting with `javascript:` [scheme](https://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/URL_schemes#javascript:_URLs) log a warning. 
+React considers the pattern as a dangerous attack surface, see [details](https://reactjs.org/blog/2019/08/08/react-v16.9.0.html#deprecating-javascript-urls). 
+**In a future major release**, React will throw an error if it encounters a `javascript:` URL.
+
+## Rule Details
+
+The following patterns are considered warnings:
+
+```jsx
+<a href="javascript:"></a>
+<a href="javascript:void(0)"></a>
+<a href="j\n\n\na\rv\tascript:"></a>
+```
+
+The following patterns are **not** considered warnings:
+
+```jsx
+<Foo href="javascript:"></Foo>
+<a href={"javascript:"}></a>
+```
