Description

The TranslatePress WordPress plugin before 2.0.9 does not implement a proper sanitisation on the translated strings. The 'trp_sanitize_string' function only removes script tag with a regex, still allowing other HTML tags and attributes to execute javascript, which could lead to authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting issues.

Affected products and versions

  • Unknown Translate Multilingual sites – TranslatePress — From 2.0.9 (including) to 2.0.9 (excluding)
  • cozmoslabs translatepress — Before 2.0.9
