• Hi,

    I found a security issue while working with the signature functionnality. If you are allowing html tags with the signature, you could do cross scripting attacks :
    <a href="http://my-shield.com"><script>alert("");</script>my-shield.com</a>
    Each page that contains the signature of this user will raise a popup message.

    That’s really strange because I use this plugin with buddypress, and profil fields are protected by escaping the html tags.

    So, without any white list for html tags, you should not use the signature functionality !

    For now, I didn’t find any way to avoid this security issue.
