[release-branch.go1.26] html/template: properly escape URLs in meta content attributes
The meta tag can include a content attribute that contains URLs, which we currently don't escape if they are inserted via a template action. This can plausibly lead to XSS vulnerabilities if untrusted data is inserted there, the http-equiv attribute is set to "refresh", and the content attribute contains an action like `url={{.}}`. Track whether we are inside of a meta element, if we are inside of a content attribute, _and_ if the content attribute contains "url=". If all of those are true, then we will apply the same URL escaping that we use elsewhere. Also add a new GODEBUG, htmlmetacontenturlescape, to allow disabling this escaping for cases where this behavior is considered safe. The behavior can be disabled by setting htmlmetacontenturlescape=0. Updates #77954 Fixes #77972 Fixes CVE-2026-27142 Change-Id: I9bbca263be9894688e6ef1e9a8f8d2f4304f5873 Reviewed-on: https://go-internal-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/3360 Reviewed-by: Neal Patel <nealpatel@google.com> Reviewed-by: Nicholas Husin <husin@google.com> Reviewed-on: https://go-internal-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/3643 Reviewed-by: Damien Neil <dneil@google.com> Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/752081 Auto-Submit: Gopher Robot <gobot@golang.org> Reviewed-by: Cherry Mui <cherryyz@google.com> TryBot-Bypass: Gopher Robot <gobot@golang.org> Reviewed-by: Dmitri Shuralyov <dmitshur@google.com>
