Description

The Loco Translate WordPress plugin before 2.6.1 does not properly remove inline events from elements in the source translation strings before outputting them in the editor in the plugin admin panel, allowing any user with access to the plugin (Translator and Administrator by default) to add arbitrary javascript payloads to the source strings leading to a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

Affected WordPress components

A confirmed match is backed by the plugin or theme slug. A possible match is based on the product name only and should be verified.

Affected products and versions

  • Unknown Loco Translate — From 2.6.1 (including) to 2.6.1 (excluding)
  • loco_translate_project loco_translate — Before 2.6.1
