Cross-Site-Scripting attack on `<RichTextField>`

Description

All React applications built with react-admin and using the <RichTextField> are affected.

<RichTextField> outputs the field value using dangerouslySetInnerHTML without client-side sanitization. If the data isn’t sanitized server-side, this opens a possible Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) attack.

• Affected version(s): **< 3.19.12

  >= 4.0.0, < 4.7.6**
