Subscriber-level data alteration via unguarded utility actions
Published Aug 22, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Missing authorization in Transposh WordPress Translation 1.0.8 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to invoke privileged utilities. The plugin exposes Utilities actions such as tp_reset and tp_cleanup through wp-admin/admin-ajax.php without enforcing role authorization. Subscriber access is sufficient to reset configuration, create or restore backups, delete translations or duplicates, repair internal data, and trigger bulk translation.
