My WP Translate <= 1.0.3 - Unprotected AJAX Actions

Missing Authorization
CVE CVE-2017-18569
CVSS High (8)
Publicly Published October 9, 2017
Last Updated January 22, 2024
Description

The My WP Translate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an authorization bypass weakness in versions up to, and including, 1.0.3. This is due to missing capability checks and nonce validation on the following functions: ajax_translation_panel(), ajax_save_translation(), ajax_add_plugin(), ajax_remove_plugin(), ajax_save_state(), ajax_import_strings(), and ajax_update_export_code(). This makes it possible for low-privileged authenticated attackers to perform a wide variety of actions such as adding or removing plugins. This can also be exploited via Cross-Site Request Forgery.
