ContainsSelector element hide emulation doesn't work with {} in regexp

Description (last modified by mjethani)

Environment

ABP 3.4.3
Any supported browser
Any supported OS
No filter lists

How to reproduce

  1. Create an advanced selector filter with :-abp-contains() and a regexp that contain a quantifier {n}. Something like
    example.com#?#div:-abp-contains([aAbBdD]{9,})
    
  2. Create an HTML document <!DOCTYPE html><html><body><div>Badbadbad</div><div>Goodgoodgood</div></body></html>

Observed behaviour

The filter doesn't hide any elements.

Expected behaviour

The filter should hide the element containing the text Badbadbad.

Additional notes

ContainsSelector element hide emulation doesn't work with {} in regexp.
This is because in ElemHideBase.selector() we escape
{ and } to prevent CSS injection but the ContainsSelector constructor doesn't put them back.

I think it's time to address the issue raised in #6726. We should move the escaping from the ElemHideBase class to the ElemHide module, since we are now generating the style sheet itself over there. It should be part of the createStyleSheet function. The selector property should contain the original raw selector.

The rules for CSS escaping are simple and can be written in less than 20 lines of JavaScript.

Let's start by adding a new escapedSelector property getter to replace the current selector property. The selector property should be used everywhere except in contexts where the caller needs to inject the selector into a style sheet.

We can definitely do a more complex fix that will work. But at the moment this is a situation that :-abp-properties() handle but not :-abp-contains().

comment:6 Changed on 02/12/2019 at 12:40:51 PM by mjethani

What I meant was:

  1. We change the selector getter in lib/filterClasses.js to return the unescaped value of this.body
  2. In createStyleSheet in lib/elemHide.js, we escape the selector before writing it to the style sheet
  3. Remove the unescaping from lib/content/elemHideEmulation.js for PropsSelector

What do you think?
