CVE-2023-5359

W3 Total Cache through version 2.7.5 exposes Google OAuth API secrets in plaintext within publicly accessible plugin files, creating a sensitive information disclosure vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker could potentially use these exposed credentials to impersonate the W3 Total Cache application and access user account information, though the vulnerability does not directly compromise a WordPress site itself. The issue was resolved in version 2.7.6.
