Description

When editing an existing CA or Certificate, the description is not validated on save the way it is validated during other action (create, sign, etc).

There are some instances where the description is displayed without encoding as it's assumed to be validated, which means there is a potential for XSS there (e.g. save messages, Issuer column displaying the CA name, perhaps others), so we should encode those for good measure in addition to the validation.

Tested the patch against:

2.7.0-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)
built on Fri Jul 29 06:15:24 UTC 2022
FreeBSD 12.3-STABLE

It works as expected. A help text with allowed or forbidden characters for that field would be helpful there.

I'll add the list of invalid characters to the help text for those fields.

It does the input validation when editing the existing CA or Certificate. I am marking this ticket resolved.
