Aug 19, 2026
Research Description
The Speed Optimizer – The All-In-One Performance-Boosting Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Image Tag Attributes in all versions up to, and including, 7.8.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

This is only exploitable when the site administrator has enabled the Lazy Load Media option in the plugin settings.
Affected versions
