Improper Neutralization of Script in Attributes in XWiki (X)HTML renderers

### Impact

HTML rendering didn’t check for dangerous attributes/attribute values. This allowed cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via attributes and link URLs, e.g., supported in XWiki syntax.

### Patches
This has been patched in XWiki 14.6 RC1.

### Workarounds
There are no known workarounds apart from upgrading to a fixed version.
