- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Public exploit code: 1 on Exploit-DB
- Fixed in: 2.0.9
- Published: 2021-09-27 · Updated: 2024-08-03

## Affected

- Unknown Translate Multilingual sites – TranslatePress: from 2.0.9, fixed in 2.0.9

## 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.
