Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Asset CleanUp: Page Speed Booster WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.3.8.5

Description The issue is related to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting problem. It occurs because the wpacu selected sub tab area parameter is not properly escaped before being outputted back in an attribute on an admin page. This allows for potential malicious script injection.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.3.8.5, update to version 1.3.8.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the admin page where the wpacu selected sub tab area parameter is used to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the wpacu selected sub tab area parameter in the affected admin page until the issue is resolved.
