Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Translate WordPress with GTranslate WordPress plugin versions prior to 3.0.4

Description The issue concerns the lack of sanitization and escaping of certain settings in the plugin, which could allow high-privilege users, such as administrators, to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. This is possible even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed, for example, in a multisite setup. The vulnerability affects multiple parameters.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.0.4, update to version 3.0.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's settings for high-privilege users until the update is applied.
