On many sites Google Translate could mean a problem for potential attacks on 'window.opener',

read: https://webhint.io/docs/user-guide/hints/hint-disown-opener/#why-is-this-important (security-problem)

Where we have seen this: close all
disown-opener: 65 hints

hint #1: '<a class="goog-logo-link" href="-https://translat … -right: 3px" alt="Google Translate">Translate</a>' should have 'rel' attribute value include 'noopener' and 'noreferrer' keywords.

detected on -https://www.ninefornews … nos-fake-news-etc

<a class="goog-logo-link" href="-https://translate.google.com" target="_blank">

Also cdn.taboola dot com adware found on that page: https://www.joesandbox.com/analysis/152773/0/html

130.000 Word Press CMS websites vulnerable because of holed plug-in.

Vulnerable plug-in = https://wordpress.org/plugins/iwp-client

You could get infested through a specially crafted request:
https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2020/01/critical-authentication-bypass-vulnerability-in-infinitewp-client-plugin/

168.000 Word Press websites already patched: https://wordpress.org/plugins/iwp-client/advanced/

Badly configured insecure Word Press CMS based on PHP stays a security liability i.m.h.o. by design.

MS states that they have contacted the users effected. I didn't get any notification.
Wonder if that means I'm not effected?

Let's hope so Bob, but only the guys at Microsoft can say for sure.
