CVE-2021-24910
The Transposh WordPress Translation WordPress plugin before 1.0.8 does not sanitise and escape the a parameter via an AJAX action (available to both unauthenticated and authenticated users when the curl library is installed) before outputting it back in the response, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting issue

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.
Transposh WordPress Translation versions 1.0.7 and below have an ajax action "tp_tp" that is vulnerable to an unauthenticated/authenticated reflected cross site scripting vulnerability when user-supplied input to the HTTP GET parameter "q" is processed by the web application. Since the application does not properly validate and sanitize this parameter, it is possible to place arbitrary script code onto the same page.
