Description

The W3 Total Cache plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Author Name in all versions up to, and including, 2.10.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This vulnerability is only exploitable when the Lazy Load Images feature of W3 Total Cache is enabled, as the unsafe re-emission occurs exclusively within the LazyLoad mutator's img tag rewriting step.

Affected WordPress components

A confirmed match is backed by the plugin or theme slug. A possible match is based on the product name only and should be verified.

Affected products and versions

  • boldgrid W3 Total Cache — Up to and including 2.10.3
