CVE-2026-74916
MEDIUM 6.5 PoC AVAILABLEThe WP Fastest Cache WordPress plugin before 1.5.1 does not include a set of tracking-related query parameters in its page-cache key while still caching pages requested with them, allowing unauthenticated attackers to have a page rendered under their own request context stored under, and served from, the clean URL's cache entry to every subsequent visitor.
Public exploit or PoC code exists. Modeled probability is still low, but the barrier to attack is reduced — watch closely.
