WPML Multilingual CMS plugin for WordPress before 4.6.1 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject script by supplying crafted input in the wplang parameter.

Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2025-11-12.
