This appears to improve the security of this

Nice, straightforward plugin.

Replacing the public function save_filters() function with the following appears to sanitize the input:

public function save_filters() {
		
		// Contributor level user or higher required
		if ( !current_user_can('edit_posts') )
			return;
			
		//disable WordPress sanitization to allow more than just $allowedtags from /wp-includes/kses.php
		remove_filter('pre_user_description', 'wp_filter_kses');
		//add sanitization 
		add_filter( 'pre_user_description', 'wp_filter_post_kses');
	}
