Description

It looks like we have a bunch of areas where HTML inputs aren't escaped, resulting in potential XSS and display issues.

The support forums have a known issue with list items being able to "break" the layout. We allow lists, but don't always properly check for UL or OL surrounding them, basically. It's a relatively minor flaw that the forum moderators know how to fix when they find it.

  • Keywords seo security removed
  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

Both formatting errors have been corrected.

Please keep https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/testing/reporting-security-vulnerabilities/ in mind, it obviously also applies to WordPress.org.
