That is one of the messages I am seeing. I am seeing a total of 5. 3 for [NoScript InjectionChecker] HTML injection: and 2 for [NoScript XSS] Sanitized suspicious request.

EDIT: That's strange. Even replying to your post with the code throws up the spam blocker. Weird.

They're sending and rendering potentially dangerous HTML fragments around.
I'm not sure there's a suitable work-around.
Does this actually cause the page to malfunction?

It stops the embedded PDF from showing and instead shows the text "No hotlinking please.".

Hum, you can add the following line to your NoScript Options|Advanced|XSS exceptions box then:

Code: Select all

^http://wpcomwidgets\.com/?[^<"'\(]+$

I'll try to incorporate a safe exception in next release.

Added the exception rule which worked for 3 of the messages but I am still seeing 2 left and the embed is still not showing.

This set of domains looks to work without dealing with wordpress/wp* at all, so no XSS:

Code: Select all

+scribd.com
+scribdassets.com
+techcrunch.com

Now I did have to click on the placeholder, twice, before the scribd* domains showed up, but to me that seems a better route?
