Hi, i would like to report a issue that i think is legitimate. to get this XSS we need to create a Post in the attacker account with a payload, after this, it's necessary that a victim reblog this post and so, enter in the edit mode of their own blog, after this the victim will see a button with "CLICK ME" value, so, when the victim click in "CLICK ME" the XSS will be triggerd.
