Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Bilingual Linker plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.4

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting, which occurs due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages through the bl otherlang link 1 parameter. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.4, update to a version higher than 2.4 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the bl otherlang link 1 parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
