CVE-2021-24610

Public Exploit
TranslatePress < 2.0.9 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting

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.
