Input validation vulnerability in W3 Total Cache 2.8.12

The W3 Total Cache plugin for WordPress has a security issue that allows attackers to execute code on the server. This can happen when comments are enabled and a post has been injected with specific tags. However, this is considered a theoretical issue and not a major security vulnerability. It is similar to gaining access to a password, so it is not easy to exploit.
