I installed fresh DNN 5.4.0 on .NET 4.0 (IIS 7.5) and after login when I click any javascript link I get this error, is this wrong setting on my side, or bug in new release?

A potentially dangerous Request.QueryString value was detected from the client (error="...$SkinLst="<Use Default Site Sk...").

 Description: Request Validation has detected a potentially dangerous client input value, and processing of the request has been aborted. This value may indicate an attempt to compromise the security of your application, such as a cross-site scripting attack. To allow pages to override application request validation settings, set the requestValidationMode attribute in the httpRuntime configuration section to requestValidationMode="2.0". Example: . After setting this value, you can then disable request validation by setting validateRequest="false" in the Page directive or in the configuration section. However, it is strongly recommended that your application explicitly check all inputs in this case. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=153133. 

we automate the adding of this attribute when you deploy a site to a .net 4.0 application pool, however we can't do this when you open up a site in vs.net 2010, hence the issue.
