Technical details

The plugin fails to properly sanitize and escape the 'comment' parameter when rendering translations, allowing stored cross-site scripting (XSS). The vulnerability is unauthenticated but requires a prior approved comment from the attacker's name/email pair and secondary language configuration. Once a malicious comment is submitted and stored, the injected script executes for all users viewing the page.
