Administrator account takeover via exposed password-reset links
Published Aug 24, 2026 · Updated Aug 24, 2026
Sensitive information exposure in Cozmoslabs TranslatePress 3.3.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to take over administrator accounts. The unauthenticated trp_get_translations_regular AJAX action returns password-reset URLs, including reset keys and login parameters, from a secondary-language translation table. Exploitation requires automatic string saving and an administrator profile using a published secondary language; the attacker can then reset that account and control the site.
