      "value": "The Autoptimize plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the \u0027ao_post_preload\u0027 meta value in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.14. This is due to insufficient input sanitization in the `ao_metabox_save()` function and missing output escaping when the value is rendered into a `\u003clink\u003e` tag in `autoptimizeImages.php`. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page, granted the \"Image optimization\" or \"Lazy-load images\" setting is enabled in the plugin configuration."
