Last modified
CVE-2021-4452 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.4/10 on the CVSS scale. The Google Language Translator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via multiple parameters in versions up to, and including, 6.0.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

EPSS estimates a 0.47% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
