What is CVE-2026-120537?

The TranslatePress plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting flaw due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping mechanisms. An attacker can exploit the vulnerability through script injections in the 'comment' or 'original_language' parameters, which allows arbitrary web scripts to execute whenever users access affected pages. This makes it imperative for website administrators to update to fixed versions and ensure enhanced security measures.
