Project: Translate Drupal with GTranslate [1]
Date: 2026-May-13
Security risk: *Less critical* 8 ∕ 25
AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:None/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon [2]
Vulnerability: DOM clobbering / link manipulation

Affected versions: <3.0.5
CVE IDs: CVE-2026-8492
Description: 
The GTranslate module provides a language switcher widget for Drupal sites.

The module’s widget JavaScript did not sufficiently validate that
document.currentScript referred to the executing script element. A user who
can add HTML to a page could cause the generated language-switcher links to
point to an unintended domain.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must be able to
add HTML with attributes that are not allowed by Drupal’s default CKEditor
configuration. It is also limited to sites using the paid versions of
GTranslate widget JavaScript and configurations where the generated language
links use script-provided values.

Solution: 
Install the latest version.

If you use the GTranslate module 3.0.x, upgrade to GTranslate 3.0.5 [3].
