WordPress · Translatepress · CVE-2021-24610
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** TranslatePress WordPress plugin versions prior to 2.0.9 **Description** The issue arises from the improper sanitization of translated strings. The `trp sanitize string` function only removes script tags using a regex, but still allows other HTML tags and attributes to execute JavaScript, potentially leading to authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting issues. **Recommendations** For versions prior to 2.0.9, update to version 2.0.9 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `trp sanitize string` function until a patch is available. Restrict access to translated strings to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using HTML tags and attributes in translated strings until the issue is resolved.
