I imagine that someone has posted this to check that the script is not executed when the page is displayed. That would be a potential security problem. I suppose "Sec" means "Security".

Hi

I can't imagine for a moment that someone can execute a script on EF in that way. I'm wondering if it was an official test or someone just trying it

Well, hopefully they can't. Web developers are wise to this now. In the past, I think some forums have been known to literally echo back whatever was typed in, including scripts and other directives, opening the door to all kinds of problems.
