What is CVE-2022-2536?

The Transposh WordPress Translation plugin is impacted by a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated users to modify site settings unchecked. This occurs due to inadequate validation on the 'tp_translation' AJAX action. Attackers can exploit this weakness to override the 'Who can translate' option, particularly when the plugin's auto-translate feature is enabled by default. This security flaw enables unauthorized manipulation of displayed data, raising significant concerns for the integrity of WordPress websites using the plugin.
