title: W3 Total Cache < 2.1.4 - Reflected XSS in Extensions Page (Attribute Context)
description: The W3 Total Cache WordPress plugin before 2.1.4 was vulnerable to a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) security vulnerability within the "extension" parameter in the Extensions dashboard, which is output in an attribute without being escaped first.
