Comment:
In [changeset:"60681" 60681]:
{{{
#!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="60681"
Scripts: Use appropriate JSON encoding flags for script tags.
`wp_json_encode()` with default arguments is insufficient to safely escape
JSON for script tags. Use `JSON_HEX_TAG | JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES` flags.
Developed in https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/9557.
Props devasheeshkaul, jonsurrell, siliconforks.
Fixes #63851.
