Form with <optgroup> incorrectly rewritten #358

Description

@baptistegrimaud

When using <optgroup> within a <select> element, the sanitized HTML is invalid and contains extra <select> tags.
The following HTML:

<form><select><optgroup label="mygroup"><option>My option</option></optgroup></select></form>

would become:

<form><select><optgroup label="mygroup"><select><option>My option</option></select></optgroup></select></form>

Note that without the <optgroup> tag, the sanitized HTML is correct.

Unit test to reproduce the issue (with version 20240325.1):

import org.junit.Test; import org.owasp.html.HtmlPolicyBuilder; import org.owasp.html.PolicyFactory; import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals; public class OptgroupTest { @Test public void not_working() { HtmlPolicyBuilder policyBuilder = new HtmlPolicyBuilder(); PolicyFactory factory = policyBuilder.allowElements("form", "select", "optgroup", "option").allowAttributes("label").globally().toFactory(); String html = "<form><select><optgroup label=\"mygroup\"><option>My option</option></optgroup></select></form>"; String result = factory.sanitize(html); assertEquals(html, result); // this fails! // Expected :<form><select><optgroup label="mygroup"><option>My option</option></optgroup></select></form> // Actual :<form><select><optgroup label="mygroup"><select><option>My option</option></select></optgroup></select></form> } @Test public void working() { HtmlPolicyBuilder policyBuilder = new HtmlPolicyBuilder(); PolicyFactory factory = policyBuilder.allowElements("form", "select", "option").toFactory(); String html = "<form><select><option>My option</option></select></form>"; String result = factory.sanitize(html); assertEquals(html, result); } }

Is there anything missing when creating the PolicyFactory to properly support <optgroup>?

NB: Same problem seems to happen with <datalist> tags.
