Cache Poisoning Vulnerability
Summary
An attacker controlling the second variable of the translate function is able to perform a cache poisoning attack. They can change the outcome of translation requests made by subsequent users.
Details
The opt.id parameter allows the overwriting of the cache key. If an attacker sets the id variable to the cache key that would be generated by another user, they can choose the response that user gets served.
PoC
Take the following simple server allowing users to supply text and the language to translate to.
We can send the following request to poison the cache:
Now, any user that attempts to translate "I love you" to Dutch, will get "I hate you" in Dutch as the response.
Impact
An attacker can control the results other users may get

Translate is a package that allows users to convert text to different languages on Node.js and the browser. Prior to version 3.0.0, an attacker controlling the second variable of the `translate` function is able to perform a cache poisoning attack. They can change the outcome of translation requests made by subsequent users. The `opt.id` parameter allows the overwriting of the cache key. If an attacker sets the `id` variable to the cache key that would be generated by another user, they can choose the response that user gets served. Version 3.0.0 fixes this issue.
