Home / exploits Transposh WordPress Translation 1.0.7 Cross Site Scripting
Posted on 29 July 2022
Transposh WordPress Translation versions 1.0.7 and below have an ajax action "tp_translation" which is available to authenticated or unauthenticated users (see CVE-2022-2461) that allows them to submit new translations. Translations submitted this way are shown on the Transposh administrative interface on the pages "tp_main" and "tp_editor". However, since the plugin does not properly validate and sanitize the submitted translation, arbitrary Javascript code can be permanently injected and executed directly within the backend across all users visiting the page with the roles of at least "Subscriber" and up to "Administrator".
