This page consolidates all known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) associated with gtranslate. We track both calendar-based metrics (using fixed periods) and rolling metrics (using gliding windows) to give you a comprehensive view of security trends and risk evolution. Use these insights to assess risk and plan your patching strategy.
For a broader perspective on cybersecurity threats, explore the comprehensive list of CVEs by vendor and product. Stay updated on critical vulnerabilities affecting major software and hardware providers.
Total gtranslate CVEs: 8
Earliest CVE date: 13 Aug 2019, 17:15 UTC
Latest CVE date: 16 Oct 2024, 08:15 UTC
Latest CVE reference: CVE-2021-4452
30-day Count (Rolling): 0
365-day Count (Rolling): 1
Calendar-based Variation
Calendar-based Variation compares a fixed calendar period (e.g., this month versus the same month last year), while Rolling Growth Rate uses a continuous window (e.g., last 30 days versus the previous 30 days) to capture trends independent of calendar boundaries.
Month Variation (Calendar): 0%
Year Variation (Calendar): 0.0%
Month Growth Rate (30-day Rolling): 0.0%
Year Growth Rate (365-day Rolling): 0.0%
Average CVSS: 3.23
Max CVSS: 6.8
Critical CVEs (≥9): 0

| 7.0-8.9 | 0 |
| 9.0-10.0 | 0 |
These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for gtranslate, sorted by severity first and recency.
The Google Language Translator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via multiple parameters in versions up to, and including, 6.0.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. Specifically affects users with older browsers that lack proper URL encoding support.
The Translate WordPress with GTranslate WordPress plugin before 3.0.4 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup). This vulnerability affects multiple parameters.
The Translate WordPress with GTranslate WordPress plugin before 2.9.9 does not have CSRF check in some files, and write debug data such as user's cookies in a publicly accessible file if a specific parameter is used when requesting them. Combining those two issues, an attacker could gain access to a logged in admin cookies by making them open a malicious link or page
The Translate WordPress with GTranslate WordPress plugin before 2.9.7 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
The Translate WordPress – Google Language Translator WordPress plugin before 6.0.12 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.
In the Pro and Enterprise versions of GTranslate < 2.8.65, the gtranslate_request_uri_var function runs at the top of all pages and echoes out the contents of $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']. Although this uses addslashes, and most modern browsers automatically URLencode requests, this plugin is still vulnerable to Reflected XSS in older browsers such as Internet Explorer 9 or below, or in cases where an attacker is able to modify the request en route between the client and the server, or in cases where the user is using an atypical browsing solution.
The GTranslate plugin before 2.8.52 for WordPress has Reflected XSS via a crafted link. This requires use of the hreflang tags feature within a sub-domain or sub-directory paid option.
The google-language-translator plugin before 5.0.06 for WordPress has XSS.
