The Loco Translate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.5. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the execTemplate function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server by supplying a php://filter stream wrapper URI as the 'template' parameter, which bypasses path validation and is passed directly to the include sink in execTemplate() via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in the Loco Translate WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 2.8.5) is reachable through a Cross-Site Request Forgery flaw in the execTemplate function, where missing nonce validation lets an unauthenticated attacker who tricks a logged-in administrator into clicking a crafted link supply a php://filter stream wrapper as the 'template' parameter, bypassing path validation and reaching a PHP include sink to execute arbitrary code. The chain converts a classic CSRF (CWE-352) into full server compromise, carrying CVSS 8.8 (C:H/I:H/A:H). …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target WordPress site runs Loco Translate 2.8.5 or earlier and that a currently authenticated site administrator is tricked into clicking an attacker-controlled link or visiting an attacker-controlled page (UI:R) while their admin session is active. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Multiple signals align toward genuine priority for sites running the plugin, but with an important limiting factor. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a malicious web page or email link that issues a forged request to the target site's Loco Translate admin route with a php://filter payload in the 'template' parameter. When a logged-in WordPress administrator visits the page or clicks the link, their browser silently submits the request; because no nonce is validated, the plugin's execTemplate() includes the attacker-supplied filter stream and executes arbitrary PHP on the server. … |
| Remediation | Upstream fix available (PR/commit); released patched version not independently confirmed - the WordPress.org changeset at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3603894%40loco-translate&new=3603894%40loco-translate contains the corrective commit, but an exact tagged release number beyond 2.8.5 was not provided in the input, so administrators should update Loco Translate to the latest available version above 2.8.5 via the WordPress plugin updater and confirm the fix note in the Wordfence advisory (https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/241d7a82-5fa5-40e3-9336-823644ca17f0?source=cve). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
