False Alarm: XSS Vulnerability in WordPress 3.2.1

Dear Friends,

My earlier post about the XSS vulnerability in WordPress 3.2.1 turned out to be a False Alarm. WordPress allows the privileged users to post comments without filtering the HTML tags but for a normal underprivileged user it will filter the tags. I am sorry for the inconvenience. My Intentions were to make all you guys aware of this vulnerability so that you could save your blog from being hacked.

But now I am glad that WordPress is safe. :)
