Translation-result manipulation via attacker-chosen cache key
Published Mar 22, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Cache poisoning in Francisco Presencia Translate before 3.0.0 allows remote attackers to alter later users' translation results. The translate function accepts an attacker-controlled opt.id in its options object and uses it to overwrite another request's cache key. Exploitation requires an application to pass untrusted second-argument options; a matching later request then receives attacker-chosen translated content.
