      "value": "The Blackhole for Bad Bots plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the User-Agent HTTP header in all versions up to and including 3.8. 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."

      "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. Esto se debe a una sanitizaci\u00f3n de entrada insuficiente y un escape de salida inadecuado. El plugin utiliza sanitize_text_field() al capturar datos de bots (que elimina las etiquetas HTML pero no escapa las entidades HTML como las comillas dobles), luego almacena los datos a trav\u00e9s de update_option(). Cuando un administrador ve la p\u00e1gina de registro de Bad Bots, los datos almacenados se muestran directamente en los atributos de valor de entrada HTML (l\u00edneas 75-83) sin esc_attr() y en el contenido de los elementos span HTML sin esc_html(). Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados inyecten scripts web arbitrarios que se ejecutan cuando un administrador ve la p\u00e1gina de administraci\u00f3n de Blackhole Bad Bots."
