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

<input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="b4a0efbacac60a7d20cb891f5d656a3f" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
