This was fixed in revision 5678 in trunk.

The fix is to edit rtc/category.jsp, add org.opennms.web.Util to the include list near the top and wrap
the call to "category.getName()" on the three lines with "onclick=..." inside of Util.encode(...). E.g.:

onclick="top.location = '/opennms/rtc/category.jsp?category=<%=Util.encode(category.getName())%
>&amp;showoutages=all'" ></input>All

As part of the same patch, I Util.encoded or Util.htmlify'ed everything.

Thanks, Bill, for reporting this. I'll add it to as a known bug in 1.3.2.
