WPGraphQL Error When saving HTML in Textarea or WYSIWYG ACF Fields

[archoda]

Description

When trying to save HTML in a field, i'm getting a JSON error. I've got year old sites where i've used similar ACF and was not getting this issue then - that I know of, although I am adding a bit more HTML in this instance. But, don't believe that should be an issue.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create an ACF. FieldGroup called 'PageControl'
2. Add a simple Textarea ( or WYSIWYG ) field called HTML
3. Set the Field group to show in both Page & Post type(s)
4. Go to the 'Home' page, add any <style>,<script>, or full HTML content you'd typically find in an tag and you'll get this error.

Additional context

Yes, I've disabled all plugins except the WPGraphQL ( 1.24.0 ), WPGraphQL Gutenberg ( 0.4.1 ), WPGraphQL for ACF ( 2.2.0 ), and ACFPro, since they are required to run the content.

WPGraphQL Version

1.24.1

WordPress Version

6.4.3

PHP Version

8.1.23

Additional environment details

Running Locally in Local App w/ NGINX and MySQL 8/0.16

@archoda I'm going to transfer this issue from the core WPGraphQL repo over to the WPGraphQL for ACF issue

@archoda this looks like a case of invalid HTML in the "meta" field. The <meta> tag is not closed which might be causing some problems?

That said, I think we can probably investigate how to resolve this better in cases like this where invalid HTML is saved and then queried for 🤔
