Bug description:
  The Field class help_text attribute is vulnerable to code injection if
  the text is somehow taken from the user input.

  Heat UI allows to create stacks from the user input which define
  parameters. Those parameters are then converted to the input field
  which are vulnerable.

  The heat stack example exploit:

  outputs: {}
  parameters:
    param1:
      type: string
      label: normal_label
      description: hack="><script>alert('YOUR HORIZON IS PWNED')</script>"
  resources: {}
