Full Disclosure: Re: WordPress plugin 'WordPress Integrator 1.32' XSS vulnerability

A "security researcher" should know better how to write code.

In this case, where the input is perfectly valid (without requiring any
validation),
it is obvious that such encoding/conversion should be done on output, not
on input.
