CVE-2025-8425

The My WP Translate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the ajax_import_strings() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update arbitrary options on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update the default role for registration to administrator and enable user registration for attackers to gain administrative user access to a vulnerable site.

Summary		(es) El plugin My WP Translate para WordPress es vulnerable a la modificación no autorizada de datos que puede conducir a una escalada de privilegios debido a una comprobación de capacidad faltante en la función ajax_import_strings() en todas las versiones hasta la 1.1, inclusive. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel Suscriptor y superior, actualicen opciones arbitrarias en el sitio de WordPress. Esto puede ser aprovechado para actualizar el rol predeterminado para el registro a administrador y habilitar el registro de usuarios para que los atacantes obtengan acceso de usuario administrativo a un sitio vulnerable.
