CSRF is a type of web application vulnerability that occurs when an attacker tricks a user into performing an action on a web application that the user does not intend to perform. This can be accomplished by tricking the user into clicking a link or opening an unexpected or suspicious email. The WPML plugin is an online translation management system for WordPress. When you install the WPML plugin, you can choose to manage your site’s multilingual capabilities through a variety of languages. You can also choose to manage your site’s translations through a number of different plugins. The WPML plugin has the ability to sync a number of different translation files from other plugins or from the WordPress installation itself. As a result, any vulnerabilities in the other plugins installed on your site could potentially put your site’s translations at risk. This tutorial will show you how to protect your site’s translations by installing the WPML Security Scanner plugin.
What you’ll need to complete this tutorial:
- The WPML plugin installed on your WordPress site
- A copy of the WPML Security Scanner plugin
