      "value": "The Simple History plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to sensitive data exposure via Detective Mode due to improper sanitization within the append_debug_info_to_context() function in versions prior to 5.8.1. When Detective Mode is enabled, the plugin’s logger captures the entire contents of $_POST (and sometimes raw request bodies or $_GET) without redacting any password‐related keys. As a result, whenever a user submits a login form, whether via native wp_login or a third‐party login widget, their actual password is written in clear text into the logs. An authenticated attacker or any user whose actions generate a login event will have their password recorded; an administrator (or anyone with database read access) can then read those logs and retrieve every captured password."

      "value": "El complemento Simple History para WordPress es vulnerable a la exposición de datos confidenciales mediante el Modo Detective debido a una depuración incorrecta de la función append_debug_info_to_context() en versiones anteriores a la 5.8.1. Cuando el Modo Detective está habilitado, el registrador del complemento captura todo el contenido de $_POST (y, en ocasiones, los cuerpos de las solicitudes sin procesar o $_GET) sin ocultar ninguna clave relacionada con la contraseña. Como resultado, cada vez que un usuario envía un formulario de inicio de sesión, ya sea mediante wp_login nativo o un widget de inicio de sesión de terceros, su contraseña real se escribe en texto plano en los registros. Un atacante autenticado o cualquier usuario cuyas acciones generen un evento de inicio de sesión registrará su contraseña; un administrador (o cualquier persona con acceso de lectura a la base de datos) puede entonces leer esos registros y recuperar todas las contraseñas capturadas."
