Unauthenticated privileged action via missing authorization
Published Jan 23, 2026 · Updated Jan 23, 2026
Missing authorization in Add Expires Headers & Optimized Minify 3.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to perform an unspecified privileged action. The CNA record and Patchstack entry do not identify the affected endpoint or function, the request data it accepts, or the authorization check omitted at that locus. No authentication is required; the disclosures characterize the result only as access to a higher-privileged action and do not identify data exposure, modification, or service interruption.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
