Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Transposh WordPress Translation plugin versions 1.0.8 and earlier

Description The issue arises from the plugin's failure to properly sanitise and escape the order and orderby parameters before using them in a SQL statement, leading to a SQL injection. This allows for potential manipulation of database queries.

Recommendations For Transposh WordPress Translation plugin versions 1.0.8 and earlier, update to a version later than 1.0.8 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the tp editor module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the order and orderby parameters in affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved.
