Possible IE XSS Attack Found when uploading - solution found

[Stuckshutter]

I started uploading some new images (jpg's) into a new gallery and got stopped with the error message: "Possible IE XSS Attack found." at the top of the individual image upload panel and when trying it with java, it was shown in a message box.

Looking at the files and their IPCT information, I had downloaded the file from Smugmug and it had included some html in the IPTC information, just <i> and <b> tags, but it was enough to trigger this error message. The solution was to remove the html from the IPTC metadata about the image and it works fine.

I used thumbsplus to remove the IPTC information in bulk or could have used Photoshop/Browser to do it.

Maybe this post will help someone else who runs into the problem resolve the issue since where it comes from is fairly obscure.
