Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (5.43%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
The TranslatePress WordPress plugin before 2.0.9 does not implement a proper sanitisation on the translated strings. The 'trp_sanitize_string' function only removes script tag with a regex, still allowing other HTML tags and attributes to execute javascript, which could lead to authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting issues.
