Just looking at the error you are seeing, I would assume there is something wrong with the structure of the layout that is causing the error. I would open up your layout in an HTML editor and see if you see any malformed tags that Kentico is construing as potentially malicious.

Kentico has a lot of code inside of it to prevent different types of penetration attacks through malicious code, so I have a feeling something in the layout is being seen as that.

Thank you for your input Virgil, but upon further testing I found out that all html markups wont allow me to save the template. But when I just put plain text string it saves.

Looks like your solution is trying to prevent SQL injection. What .NET version are you using?

Might want to try adding:

<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" />

to the web.config in your solution machine might help you to save your template.
