The XSS filter can be improved, but ASFAIK, that someone was able to
insert a rather large image in the simplechat does not qualify as an
XSS (which would imply that someone is able to insert arbitrary
JavaScript).

The simplechat is definitely the easiest test-bed for XSS attacks: it
depends entirely on the XSS filter: it allows a user to insert
arbitrary XHTML and filters out active content before sending it
around.

The only security vulnerability that we have dealt with, was mentioned
in the release notes for Wt 3.1.1 (February this year).

It's a long stretch to conclude that Wt does not contain security
problems, of course, but its structure prevents many common
web-related security problems.
