I take that back. Apparently the flaw only occurs when you're not logged in.

i am not logged in, and the link above simply inserts text into the page, but it is html entity escaped.
<script>alert('xss');</script>

Ugly for the user doing it, yes..but not XSS.
Have you gotten different results?
Comment by tardo (tardo) - Thursday, 06 December 2007, 03:44 GMT
Same thing. Not sure why Paul reopened it. You only get an ugly output if you _attempt_ to use XSS. Everything else should work normally.

and for the record, my previous comment was written months ago.. not today.
