Research Description
W3 Total Cache [w3-total-cache] < 0.9.5 W3 Total Cache <= 0.9.4.1 - Security Token Bypass via Type Juggling The W3 Total Cache plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to the use of loose comparison on the nonce value in the /pub/apc.php file. This affects versions up to, and including, 0.9.4.1. This makes it possible for attackers to bypass nonce protections if a valid nonce starts with 0e. In the right situation this bypass can be used to empty the OPCache.
Affected versions
max 0.9.5.
Status
vulnerable
