Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the Translation Memory Suggestion Panel (v-html on suggestion.original) due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. Unauthenticated attackers can seed the translation dictionary's original column with executable HTML through the front-end rendering pipeline, which decodes entity-encoded payloads via html_entity_decode() before persistence; since the original column is exempt from kses filtering, the payload is stored unsterilized and rendered in administrator sessions without sanitization.
