…putScorer The "Script Tag" pattern only accepted a literal "</script>" closing tag and an opening tag name followed by whitespace or ">". Browsers end a tag name at whitespace, "/" or ">", so "<script>alert(1)</script >", "</script\n>", "</SCRIPT/>" and "<script/>alert(1)</script>" all run script but scored False. Accept those tag-name terminators on both tags. Fixes microsoft#3976 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Description
Fixes #3976.
The "Script Tag" pattern in
XSSOutputScorerwas(?i)<script[\s>][\s\S]*?</script>. It only accepted a closing tag written exactly as</script>. Browsers end a tag name at whitespace,/or>, so</script >,</script\n>,</SCRIPT/>and</script foo="bar">all close the element and the script runs. On the opening side,<script/>alert(1)</script>also runs, because the self-closing flag is ignored on<script>. All of these scoredFalse, and no other default pattern caught them because there is nosrcattribute.The pattern is now
(?i)<script[\s/>][\s\S]*?</script[\s/>], so both tags accept the same tag-name terminators. Look-alike names such as</scripts>,<scripts>or<scripting>still don't match. The rationale name stays "Script Tag".Only the "Script Tag" line changes, and the new tests sit in a different part of the test file, so this branch merges cleanly with #3945.
