User Notes:

Note by: jon@bamboohr.com
Be advised that the HTML_QuickForm_select control does not call htmlspecialchars() when displaying the option tags in the select list. This makes it susceptible to html injection when the option names in the select may have come from user input.

The maintainers are aware of this and have chosen not to address this issue because to fix it would break some existing classes that actually depend on the current behavior.

When using this control with dynamically generated options, you should take care to sanitize any options strings with htmlspecialchars() before passing them into the control. Note also that this makes the loadQuery() and loadDbResult() methods unsafe to use.

Yeah, what's wrong with this page is it provides no explanation how to use the class at all.
