Strategic Overview

Vulnerability Overview

The Google Language Translator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 4.0.9 via 'the googlelanguagetranslator_flags_order' parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 5.0.0, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')) The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users.
