 Try manually updating, into your database, a category and set its
 description to:

 {{{
 XSS<script>alert('Evil script that exploits an IE security
 hole');</script>
 }}}

 And then visit that category on your site's front page. Assuming it gets
 displayed on your theme, I would assume [15559] allows the alert to show.
