#55370 closed enhancement (fixed)

Enable aria-controls and aria-expanded in content

Description (last modified by sabernhardt)

We have created a custom collapsible block, but the Gutenberg validation fails as the aria-controls and aria-expanded attributes are stripped from the saved content if the block is used by a user with role below super administrator.

Could these attributes be added to the list of allowed attributes?

Our problem is described in more detail at Gutenberg issue 39351 and @ocean90 recommended opening a ticket in Trac.

Similar topic has been discussed at Trac #30421

Hello @crs1138, and thanks for opening this ticket after bringing up discussion in the Gutenberg repository.
We reviewed this ticket today during the accessibility team's weekly bug-scrub.
We agreed that both aria-expanded and aria-controls, but also aria-current, should be added to the list of allowed attributes.
As the related patch seems to be very easy to create and test, we're milestoning this ticket for 6.0 and adding the good-first-bug label.

Thank you, @mukesh27.

I created the patch using svn diff as described in https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/tutorials/working-with-patches/#creating-a-patch-with-the-command-line

I'm using the svn checkout at https://develop.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/ for creating the patches.

From the patch you uploaded it looks like you're using https://core.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/

The documentation at https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/tutorials/installing-wordpress-locally/from-svn/#1-2-using-command-line uses https://develop.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/ svn checkout.

Which svn checkout is the correct one to use?

Thanks for the patches! I use develop for SVN patches. The pull request method is another option, but should not be necessary.

55370.v202203242230.patch applies cleanly for me at the root folder, and 55370.patch applies to the src.

  • Milestone changed from 6.0 to Awaiting Review
  • Version 5.8.3 deleted

On #30421 there is quite a discussion about whether or not there are any security implications adding the aria-* attributes globally.

The conversation was never resolved one way or the other as it was decided to support a sub-set of attributes initially.

I'm going to move this ticket back in to review to allow time for the discussion to happen about these attributes.

FWIW, I don't see any security reason to not allowlist at least aria-expanded, aria-controls and aria-current attributes.
