Ok - having looked further - I agree that this is two separate issues - so
can we have a CVE for both issues separately.
However, I believe the fix for first issue to be incorrect (hence helping
me misunderstanding the initial issue):
The initial fix adds a string_display_line call to an <input> box. Given
that this processes the string for display in html, and there is a
string_attribute api call for handling data for display in a text box, I
believe that the fix for the other issue is incorrect and
that string_attribute should be used instead of string_display_line (which
may do other formatting to the string which may be undesirable when editing
configuration values).
