{"id":"CVE-2026-118047","published":"2026-11-07T12:17:43.230","lastModified":"2026-11-07T18:17:13.030","description":"The Falang multilanguage for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'falang_term[<taxonomy>][<locale>][<field>] (via order[] driving wp_update_term)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The exploit is made reliable because the required 'falang' nonce is disclosed to any logged-in user through the equally unprotected wp_ajax_falang_menu_translation handler, requiring no elevated access to obtain.","cvssScore":6.4,"cvssSeverity":"MEDIUM","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","cwes":["CWE-79"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/falang/tags/1.4.6/admin/class-falang-admin.php#L1721","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/falang/tags/1.4.6/admin/class-falang-admin.php#L2739","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/falang/tags/1.4.6/admin/class-falang-admin.php#L2904","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/falang/tags/1.4.6/admin/class-falang-admin.php#L2995","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/falang/tags/1.4.6/admin/views/edit_menu_page.php#L135","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/falang/tags/1.4.6/admin/views/falang_term_translation_page.php#L197","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3788331%40falang&new=3788331%40falang","tags":[]},{"url":"https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/2b995c66-f228-427e-b1b1-edcd5cb38041?source=cve","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":null}
