MEDIUM
5.4
CVSS 3.1
Description
The Google Language Translator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via multiple parameters in versions up to, and including, 6.0.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated 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. Specifically affects users with older browsers that lack proper URL encoding support.
Affected products and versions
- edo888 Translate WordPress – Google Language Translator — Before 6.0.10
- gtranslate google_language_translator — Up to and including 6.0.9
