[Bug 1804328] [NEW] need to clean html tag classes in comments

 

Public bug reported:

When adding a comment, the text can include html tags with classes that
might interfere with the styling classes used by core. This could break
the functionality of the page.

To replicate

- create a page and display it
- at the bottom, in the comment text area, expand the toolbar
- click on the 'Source code' button and add the text:

<div class="post list-group-item clearfix flush">
<div id="user_feedbacktable_0123456789" class="feedback modal modal-docked">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-lg">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-body flush">
<div class="list-group list-group-lite">
<div id="user_comment12345" class="comment-item list-group-item list-group-item-warning r0">
<div class="comment-text">
<div class="comment-content">
<p>Comment text.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="post list-group-item clearfix flush"> </div></div>


Expected result:
- The page refreshes and the text "Comment text." is displayed

Actual result:
- The comment is not displayed
