Symptoms

Instead of images, Confluence is displaying raw HTML.

 

Cause

XXS protection for plugins is enabled by default.  This is a way of preventing plugins from inserting arbitrary HTML into a Confluence page.

Resolution

  1. Visit Confluence Admin > Security Configuration
  2. Click Edit at the bottom of the page
  3. Uncheck "XXS protection for Plugins"
  4. Save the page
