Finding XSS is dead easy task. Everybody is vulnerable to this type of
issue and even if there are protection mechanisms on place such as
application firewalls and sanitization filters, very often attackers
can get a stable exploit working in a matter of a couple of minutes.
In fact, I don't think that there are unstable XSS exploits. It is not
like the attacker have to manipulate the stack or a corrupted heap in
order to get some sort of execution control. No! It is a simple
injection issue.

So the question is not whether the bad guys can find a XSS issue on
your site/application - they can and they will. The question is what
sort of things they can do with it.
