XSS vulnerability

I was able to insert this code into almost any field on my About Me page:

<script>alert("Hello, XSS!");</script>

The only restriction was the field length.
And the script works and displays alert. As you could know malicious person might get access to a user's session using this.

Is there a way to escape < > chars in the user input?
