The Ray Enterprise Translation WordPress plugin through 1.7.3 does not perform any capability or nonce checks on one of its AJAX actions, allowing any authenticated user, including Subscribers, to add or delete the site's configured languages.
AnalysisAI
Ray Enterprise Translation WordPress plugin (≤1.7.3) exposes an AJAX action without any capability or nonce validation, allowing any authenticated WordPress user - including the lowest-privilege Subscriber role - to add or delete the site's configured languages. The CVSS vector (PR:L, S:U, I:L, C:N, A:N) reflects limited integrity impact confined to language configuration, with no code execution or data exposure risk. No public exploit is identified and EPSS sits at 0.13% (3rd percentile), confirming this is low-priority exploitation pressure at this time.
Technical ContextAI
WordPress plugin AJAX endpoints are expected to enforce two distinct access controls: a capability check via current_user_can() to gate actions by user role, and a nonce token to prevent cross-site request forgery. This plugin's affected AJAX action omits both controls (CWE-862: Missing Authorization), meaning any HTTP POST to that endpoint with a valid WordPress authentication cookie is accepted without further validation - regardless of whether the caller is an Administrator or a Subscriber. The affected functionality manages the site's multilingual language configuration, which in translation-enabled WordPress deployments can affect content routing, locale assignment, and SEO-sensitive hreflang tags. Affected version range is ≤1.7.3 per WPScan and EUVD-2026-55948; no CPE string was provided in source data.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patched version has been confirmed from available data - all versions through 1.7.3 are affected. Administrators should monitor the WPScan advisory (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/3dd9bf3b-7fe4-4a58-ad05-1fc0bfb85413/) and NVD entry (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-14549) for a patched release. As an immediate compensating control, disable open user registration (Settings > General > uncheck 'Anyone can register') to prevent untrusted subscribers from obtaining the authentication required to exploit the endpoint; this has no impact on existing content or language configuration. If the translation functionality is non-essential, deactivating the plugin entirely eliminates exposure at the cost of removing multilingual capabilities. Sites where all authenticated users are trusted (private intranets or invitation-only communities) face negligible operational risk and may defer patching until an official release is available.
