Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to WPScanTeam.

The Block Bad Bots and Stop Bad Bots Crawlers and Spiders and Anti Spam Protection plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘page’ parameter in versions before 6.6.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
