Potential fix for https://github.com/E2OpenPlugins/e2openplugin-OpenWebif/security/code-scanning/20
To fix this issue, we should apply the replacement repeatedly until no more matches are found. This ensures that if removing a tag exposes a new tag (as in the case of nested or malformed tags), it will also be removed. Specifically, we should wrap the
replaceoperation in a loop that continues until the string stops changing. This fix should be applied in the relevant line withinrenderwhere the title attribute is set. No external libraries are strictly necessary for this fix, since we are limited to the code shown and should avoid introducing new dependencies unless required.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix.
