from the security-testing point of view its not necessary to execute any script .. because:
 
IF input
        "<script>thingstodo();</script>"
LEADS TO output
        "<script>thingstodo();</script>"

the application is definitively vulnerable !!!

and it is a confuguration-issue to check for all "known" and "unknown" script-tags and -objects !!

nice day,
mEi
