This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. The plugin uses sanitize_text_field() when capturing bot data (which strips HTML tags but does not escape HTML entities like double quotes), then stores the data via update_option(). When an administrator views the Bad Bots log page, the stored data is output directly into HTML input value attributes (lines 75-83) without esc_attr() and into HTML span content without esc_html(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when an administrator views the Blackhole Bad Bots admin page."}, {"lang": "es", "value": "El plugin Blackhole for Bad Bots para WordPress es vulnerable a cross-site scripting almacenado a trav\u00e9s del encabezado HTTP User-Agent en todas las versiones hasta la 3.8 inclusive.
