Maybe we can escape the _draft_or_post_title() as well.

Hello @nidhidhandhukiya, it would be helpful if you could elaborate more what issue you are describing, what is missing and why and how it can be resolved. Thank you.

Thanks @nidhidhandhukiya for ticket and patch.

@Presskopp It's better to escape the output of get_edit_post_link.

Patch works fine in my test. @costdev you could commit you first one 😉

Maybe we can escape the _draft_or_post_title() as well.

I think escaping is not needed here because get_edit_post_link() already returns safe links.

#5 @Presskopp

Also _draft_or_post_title is already escaping the return value: return esc_html( $title );

Thanks for the ping @mukesh27!

As noted above, _draft_or_post_title() is already escaped.

However, get_edit_post_link() is not escaped, and also returns the result of the get_edit_post_link filter. There may have been some confusion with edit_post_link(), which does escape the link before output.

59141.patch looks good to me, thanks @nidhidhandhukiya! 🙂


I'm not fully onboarded as a committer yet, sorry Mukesh! 😅 Adding for final review and commit by another committer.
