Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):
Hey everyone!
IIRC, the reason these rules are lenient is because of TinyMCE, namely
`wp-includes/js/tinymce/wp-tinymce.php`. This file is requested directly
by the browser via an iframe, hence it needs to be open-world executable.
If not for that, I believe all of `wp-includes` could be denied
completely, which would simplify these rules a bit, and allow them to be
more specific.
I agree that the solution for #20746 looks like it would address this
issue, too, but I'm afraid to close this ticket without a more confident
fix on that one. And, if it turns out the fix is somewhat unrelated, we've
accidentally confused our future selves, so I'm in favor of leaving this
ticket open, at least until we've more deeply confirmed the relationship
between them.
