…lter_attr(). CSS function names are ASCII case-insensitive, so `CALC(1px + 2px)`, `URL(foo.jpg)`, and `LINEAR-GRADIENT(red, blue)` are all valid CSS. Every function-matching pattern in `safecss_filter_attr()` was case-sensitive, however, so valid declarations using anything other than all-lowercase function names were silently dropped. Add the `i` modifier to the `url()`, gradient, and generic function patterns, and lowercase the value before the `url(` / `-gradient(` sniffing done for custom properties. Only the function names are matched loosely; the grammar each pattern accepts is unchanged, so a mixed-case value is now held to exactly the same standard as its lowercase equivalent. Protocol checking in `wp_kses_bad_protocol()` was already case-insensitive, so `URL()` values are validated the same way `url()` values are. Property names remain case-sensitive, which is a separate concern. Fixes #65838. See #64974. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Nice fix — CSS function names genuinely are ASCII case-insensitive, so silently dropping CALC(...)/URL(...)/LINEAR-GRADIENT(...) while accepting the lowercase equivalents was a real (if minor) sanitizer bug, and this closes the gap without loosening the actual grammar each pattern accepts.
I checked out the branch and ran the affected suite (--filter Tests_Kses, 451 tests/1525 assertions, all green, including the new mixed-case data provider cases), plus composer lint:errors and phpstan on kses.php — both clean.
I traced the security-relevant path by hand: wp_kses_bad_protocol_once2() already lowercases the scheme before comparing against $allowed_protocols (kses.php:2057), so URL(JavaScript:...) is rejected exactly like url(javascript:...) — confirmed by the new test cases. And since only the function names get the /i modifier while each pattern's grammar is untouched, an unrecognized/malformed mixed-case function (e.g. EXPRESSION(...)) still leaves its ( in the test string and gets caught by the trailing [\\(&=}] check. Good call leaving property-name case-sensitivity (Text-transform) out of scope — that's a separate, more debatable question.
One small thing unrelated to the code: the PR body has "Fixes #65838" in prose but the template's "Trac ticket:" line is still empty, which is why the props bot flagged a missing Trac link — worth filling in the full https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65838 URL there so the linkage is picked up automatically.
