### Mitigation
Update the plugin to the last version (or manually patch the vulnerabilities).
On a separate note, I saw this domain is not eligible for bounty :) But wanted to bring this to your attention the same, being WordPress a common target.
Furthermore, this specific vulnerability could lead to a full website defacement: https://blog.mazinahmed.net/2014/12/w3-total-caches-w3totalfail.html
