CVE-2021-24610 EXPLOIT
4.8
MEDIUM · CVSS 3.1 · EPSS 5.4% (pctl 92)
Patch early
A public exploit exists.
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.
