Comment:

 In [changeset:"51408" 51408]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="51408"
 Widgets: Use `wp_sidebar_description()` to retrieve a sidebar’s
 `description`.

 This switches `WP_REST_Sidebars_Controller` to use
 `wp_sidebar_description()` for retrieving the `description` of a given
 sidebar instead of referencing the value in the `$wp_registered_sidebars`
 global variable directly.

 `wp_sidebar_description()` uses `wp_kses()` to only allow the default list
 of `$allowed_tags` to be present in a sidebar’s `description`.

 Props timothyblynjacobs, desrosj.
 Fixes #53646.
