Description

In get_attachment_fields_to_edit, the $post object is sanitized using the 'edit' flag, which converts HTML entities. Under some circumstances this can cause entities to be double-encoded (as in, "), because the html entities are already

To fix this, sanitize the post using the 'raw' flag.

FYI, checked history. The function was introduced in 2.5, it seems, and I couldn't find any discussion about why that particular flag was used. I patched it on our live site a few days ago and we haven't seen any issues.

To add some context to this ticket, we change the Post Caption field from a text field to a textarea, and when we do this everything gets double-encoded.

  • Keywords close added; has-patch removed
  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Status changed from new to closed

No longer a problem. Must have gotten fixed some other way.
