Comment:

 Given the title of this ticket, I think it's fairly clear that it intends
 to cover all instances of invalid action attributes, even though the only
 example documented in the description is on wp-login.php. Patch
 58226.2.diff removes the four empty action attributes I found in core (in
 the files noted by @rajinsharwar)

 To test:
  - Verify the action attribute is gone in the language selection control
 at /wp-login.php, and verify the form works as expected.
  - Verify the action attribute is gone and you can create a new Privacy
 Policy page at Settings > Privacy
  - Verify the action attribute is gone and you can change your Privacy
 Policy page at Settings > Privacy
  - In the classic widget editor, verify that the form wrapping "Clear
 Inactive Widgets" does not have an action attribute, and that you are able
 to clear inactive widgets.

 All tested and verified in Chrome/Windows 11.
