The The NitroPack – Caching & Speed Optimization for Core Web Vitals, Defer CSS & JS, Lazy load Images and CDN plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.16.7.

This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes.
