description

Autoptimize for WordPress through version 3.1.15.1 can store attacker-controlled script content that runs when someone visits an affected page. An unauthenticated attacker can trigger this only when the Critical CSS feature is enabled and configured with a valid API key.

mitigation

Disable Critical CSS or remove its configured API key to reduce exposure. Apply a vendor update when a release addressing this issue is available.
