 Upon reviewing various strings and URLs within the WordPress core
 codebase, it has been noted that many instances lack proper escaping.

 This absence of escaping poses a security risk, as it can potentially lead
 to vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Unescaped
 output allows malicious users to inject scripts into web pages viewed by
 other users.

 For example, you can see it here, \wp-activate.php
