CVE-2026-105262 Details
Description
The Falang multilanguage for WordPress plugin before 1.4.6 does not perform a capability check when saving term translations, and exposes a valid nonce to any logged-in user through an unprotected handler, allowing users with Subscriber-level access and above to store content that is later output without proper escaping, leading to Stored Cross-Site Scripting that executes in the context of higher-privileged users such as administrators.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Falang Multilanguage for WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 1.4.6. The issue arises because the plugin does not perform a capability check when saving term translations. It also exposes a valid nonce to any logged-in user through an unprotected handler. This allows users with Subscriber-level access and above to store content that is later output without proper escaping. As a result, the injected content can execute scripts in the context of higher-privileged users, such as administrators.
Users are advised to update the Falang Multilanguage for WordPress plugin to version 1.4.6 or later.
