Description:
------------
When the xhprof_html directory is deployed it makes the site vulnerable to a Reflected XSS attack by not properly escaping the run parameter.

1. find a site with a xhprof_html deployed
2. change the run parameter to include <script>...</script> (e.g. /xhprof/?run=%3Cscript%3Ealert('XSS');%3C/script%3E)
3. load the page
4. notice the JS alert

NB: XSS filters in some browsers might block this attack



Expected result:
----------------
JavaScript is not executed, input is properly sanitized and/or escaped.

Actual result:
--------------
JavaScript is executed in the context of the user visiting the page.

If that page is public one has other issues, too. This should be fixed nonetheless, I'll contact xhprof maintainers.

I can confirm this changeset is not in the release. Scott, any chance for a new release?
