Guidelines
Cross-site scripting (XSS) signatures are generally attempts to obfuscate the real
meaning of the value if the value were displayed directly in a browser. You want
to validate any data that might get stored and displayed again later, such as the
contents of a comment form. The check looks for escaped characters, characters
with the high-bit set, and various forms of the term script, which is often used to
engage JavaScript on a browser without the user knowing.
