CVE-2026-107768 cozmoslabs CVE debrief

Who should care

Defenders responsible for WordPress sites using the TranslatePress plugin should assess exposure and prioritize verification and remediation efforts. This includes reviewing the plugin version, restricting unmoderated comment submission, and monitoring for suspicious activity. Additionally, defenders should consider the potential operational impacts of exploitation, including the injection of arbitrary web scripts and the execution of scripts when users访问

Why it matters

Defenders should prioritize verifying and updating the TranslatePress plugin to prevent exploitation of the Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability.

• Unauthenticated attackers can inject arbitrary web scripts in pages
• Injected scripts execute when a user accesses an injected page
• Exploitation requires unmoderated comment submission and a secondary language configuration

Technical summary

The TranslatePress – Translate Multilingual sites with AI Translation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'comment' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

Recommended defensive actions

• Verify and update the TranslatePress plugin to a patched version, if available
• Restrict unmoderated comment submission on the site
• Monitor for suspicious comment activity
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
