AI-suggested
Upgrade the GTranslate WordPress plugin to version 5.0.1 or later, where this issue is fixed. Since the vulnerability affects versions before 5.0.1, applying the official update fully mitigates the risk.
Description
The GTranslate WordPress plugin before 5.0.1 does not remove shortcodes from the content of outgoing emails before expanding them which, in a non-default configuration, allows unauthenticated users to have arbitrary shortcodes registered on the site executed server side.
