Translate WordPress - Google Language Translator < 6.0.12 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting
Description
The plugin does not sanitise and escape some of its settings before outputting it in various pages, allowing high privilege users to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed.
Proof of Concept
Put the following payload in the Floating Widget Settings > Custom text for the floating widget: <svg onload=alert(/XSS/)> The XSS will be triggered in the plugin's settings page, as well as all frontend pages.
