CVE-2021-24911
The Transposh WordPress Translation WordPress plugin before 1.0.8 does not sanitise and escape the tk0 parameter from the tp_translation AJAX action, leading to Stored Cross-Site Scripting, which will trigger in the admin dashboard of the plugin.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.67%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
