Reflected XSS via unescaped page parameter
Published Apr 7, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Reflected XSS in WPGlobus Translate Options 2.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts through a crafted page parameter. The plugin reflects the page query value into an administrative page without sufficient input sanitization or output escaping. Exploitation requires no authentication but does require a user to follow a crafted link, allowing the injected script to run in that user's browser under the affected site's origin.
