Descriptions

The Transposh WordPress Translation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized setting changes by unauthenticated users in versions up to, and including, 1.0.8.1. This is due to insufficient permissions checking on the 'tp_translation' AJAX action and default settings which makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to influence the data shown on the site.

El plugin Transposh WordPress Translation para WordPress es vulnerable a cambios de configuración no autorizados por parte de usuarios no autenticados en versiones hasta 1.0.8.1 incluyéndola. Esto es debido a una insuficiente comprobación de permisos en la acción AJAX "tp_translation" y en la configuración por defecto, lo que hace posible a atacantes no autenticados influir en los datos mostrados en el sitio
