Cross-Site Request Forgery in RapidLoad Power-Up for Autoptimize Plugin by WordPress

CVE-2023-1343

What is CVE-2023-1343?

The RapidLoad Power-Up for Autoptimize plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) due to inadequate nonce validation in the attach_rule function. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate the plugin's cache if they can trick a legitimate administrator into executing an action, such as clicking a malicious link. This lack of proper validation can lead to unauthorized actions being performed on behalf of the user, potentially compromising site integrity and functionality.
