    CVE-2026-107321 (GCVE-0-2026-107321)

    Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2026-10-10 06:00 – Updated: 2026-10-10 12:06

    Title
    W3 Total Cache < 2.10.6 - Author+ Path Traversal via CDN Media Library Import
    Summary
    The W3 Total Cache WordPress plugin before 2.10.6 does not confine a media-import file copy to the document root, nor enforce an effective file-type restriction on it, allowing users with the Author role or higher to plant content that, once an administrator runs the import, copies an arbitrary server-readable file into a publicly served directory, exposing it to unauthenticated retrieval.

    CVE-2026-18051 (GCVE-0-2026-18051)

    Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2026-08-19 06:00 – Updated: 2026-08-19 16:44
    VLAI
    Title
    W3 Total Cache < 2.10.5 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Directory File Write and .htaccess Overwrite via Path Traversal in the Page Cache Key
    Summary
    The W3 Total Cache WordPress plugin before 2.10.5 does not properly validate the request path it uses to build cache file names, allowing unauthenticated attackers to write a file into any existing directory on the server, inside or outside the web root, overwriting whatever occupies the target name. On Apache, the same flaw overwrites the site's .htaccess files, which breaks the site and can strip hardening rules that other security measures rely on.

    Title
    W3 Total Cache < 2.10.6 - Author+ Path Traversal via CDN Media Library Import
    Summary
    The W3 Total Cache WordPress plugin before 2.10.6 does not confine a media-import file copy to the document root, nor enforce an effective file-type restriction on it, allowing users with the Author role or higher to plant content that, once an administrator runs the import, copies an arbitrary server-readable file into a publicly served directory, exposing it to unauthenticated retrieval.

    Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-19 06:00 – Updated: 2026-08-19 16:44
    VLAI
    Title
    W3 Total Cache < 2.10.5 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Directory File Write and .htaccess Overwrite via Path Traversal in the Page Cache Key
    Summary
    The W3 Total Cache WordPress plugin before 2.10.5 does not properly validate the request path it uses to build cache file names, allowing unauthenticated attackers to write a file into any existing directory on the server, inside or outside the web root, overwriting whatever occupies the target name. On Apache, the same flaw overwrites the site's .htaccess files, which breaks the site and can strip hardening rules that other security measures rely on.
