Description

The W3 Total Cache plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting via the 'request_id' parameter in versions up to, and including, 0.9.4.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in a victim's browser.
