Description

When the config.spamProtectEmailAddresses is set, a mailto:xxx@yyy.zzz string passed through lib.parseFunc is transformed to a mailto link, with an href of the form "javascript:linkTo_UnCryptMailto()".

Problem, the <a> tag is removed in the rendered html, only the xxx@yyy.zzz stays.

If I set config.spamProtectEmailAddresses to 0, the <a href="mailto:xxx@yyy.zzz">xxx@yyy.zzz</a> is present in the rendered html.

When debugging, I found that the makelinks conf of lib.parseFunc works well, but just after, the tags.a conf triggers a TEXT cObj with the <a href="javascript:linkTo_UnCryptMailto()">xxx@yyy.zzz</a> as value, and typolink removes the javascript: href, for security reason (see ContentObjectRenderer->resolveMixedLinkParameter)

How to reproduce:

page = PAGE
page.config.disableAllHeaderCode = 1
page.config.spamProtectEmailAddresses = -3
page.10 = TEXT
page.10.value = mailto:xxx@yyy.zzz
page.10.stdWrap.parseFunc < lib.parseFunc

As a workaround, I disabled spamProtectEmailAddresses an email addresses are now clickable in frontend.
The drawback is that there is no more spam protection on email addresses.

Looks like TYPO3 first detects the mailto and creates a link out of it, via method mailto_makelinks within ContentObjectRenderer. It then processes all found and configured tags, e.g. a Tags. That way it will process the previously generated a tag.

That will then fail. I do not yet fully understand why, put probably due to "invalid" value? The _parseFunc() method will call the configured cObject TEXT to build the a tag. That seems to fail.

I guess the highlighted lines in the given commit introduced the issue: https://github.com/TYPO3/typo3/commit/43d0fa1e78765ab1272f2f06d4a86a0c667ac538#diff-8e9ce7124a168de37f8a901cda889082df4ab9447ff2b56358fde80250a01b3aR3891-R3900

The default parseFunc will render a Tags. That will end in typolink Method, which will use the existing href parameter which starts with javascript. There is no handler and javascript is considered insecure and therefore not linked, see: https://github.com/TYPO3/typo3/blob/v10.4.22/typo3/sysext/frontend/Classes/ContentObject/ContentObjectRenderer.php#L5082

Related issue: #39261

One could use the deprecated hook in v10.4 to custom resolve the link and circumvent the issue. But that won't work with v11 (accordingly to v10 code base) as hook is then gone and custom link handler result will be blocked.
One could add a custom link handler which converts the already rendered and protected link back to be processed again which sounds stupid and unnecessary complex.
