Public Exploit

Description

The Transposh WordPress Translation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to sensitive information disclosure to unauthenticated users in versions up to, and including, 1.0.8.1.

This makes it possible for unauthenticated users to exfiltrate usernames of individuals who have translated text.
