Exploit for WordPress Transposh <=1.0.8.1 - Information Disclosure (CVE-2022-2462)

Description:

WordPress Transposh plugin through is susceptible to information disclosure via the AJAX action tp_history, which is intended to return data about who has translated a text given by the token parameter.

An attacker can leak the WordPress username of translators and potentially execute other unauthorized operations.
