Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: DL Robots.txt WordPress plugin versions 1.2 and earlier

Description: The issue allows high privilege users, such as admins, to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks due to the plugin's failure to sanitise and escape some of its settings. This can occur even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed, for example in a multisite setup.
