CVE-2026-75981
HighCVSS 7.2Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk16th percentile - higher than 16% of all known CVEs
Summary
The TranslatePress plugin for WordPress up to version 3.2.5 is vulnerable to unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting. The special gettext markers '#!trpst#' and '#!trpen#' are unconditionally rewritten to '<' and '>' by translate_page(). An unauthenticated attacker can embed these markers in a comment, and when the post is viewed in a secondary language, the markers turn into a real <img> tag, allowing malicious script execution.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes arbitrary script execution in the user's browser, which can lead to session theft, account takeover, or malware distribution.
Recommendation
Update the TranslatePress plugin to the latest version that includes the fix. Additionally, consider restricting comment posting for unauthenticated users.
Original NVD description (English source)
The TranslatePress – Translate Multilingual sites with AI Translation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to and including 3.2.5. The special gettext markers '#!trpst#' and '#!trpen#' are unconditionally rewritten to '<' and '>' by translate_page() in includes/class-translation-render.php (lines 538-539). Because those markers are plain text with no HTML-special characters, an unauthenticated attacker can embed them in a comment; the markers survive wp_kses, and when the post is viewed in a secondary language the substitution turns the attacker's '#!trpst#img ... #!trpen#' into a real <img> tag. remove_tags_from_output() only strips <script>/<style>, so an <img onerror=...> executes in the visitor's browser.
