CVE-2025-8423
The My WP Translate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the mtswpt_remove_plugin() and ajax_update_export_code() functions in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.35%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
