MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated session with at least low-privilege access (CVSS PR:L) to the WordPress site running Slider by 10Web (slider-wd) version 1.2.62 or earlier, reachable over the network with no user interaction. The core limiting factor is twofold: (1) the attacker must hold valid credentials or be able to register an account, and (2) object injection only yields meaningful impact (RCE, file write, data tampering) if a POP gadget chain is reachable in WordPress core or a co-installed plugin/theme - without a gadget chain, impact is reduced to the deserialization itself. The advisory does not confirm the exact vulnerable endpoint or whether a gadget chain ships with the plugin. |
| Impact | This is a PHP Object Injection flaw (CWE-502) in the Slider by 10Web WordPress plugin, scored CVSS 8.8 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N and full H/H/H impact, indicating network-exploitable, low-complexity attacks requiring some level of authentication (PR:L). No EPSS score, KEV listing, or public POC was provided in the input, so exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified from the available signals - there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The high CVSS is driven by the full-impact object-injection primitive (which can escalate to RCE, data theft, or site takeover IF a usable POP gadget chain exists in WordPress core or co-installed plugins/themes), but the real-world risk is tempered by the PR:L authentication requirement: an attacker must first obtain at least a low-privileged authenticated session. The absence of KEV/EPSS/POC data means this is currently a high-severity-by-CVSS but unproven-exploitation issue; it warrants prompt patching but is not confirmed as an urgent in-the-wild threat. Note that object-injection severity is highly dependent on the presence of a gadget chain, which the Patchstack advisory does not confirm - real impact may be lower if no gadget is reachable. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated low-privileged user (e.g., subscriber or contributor) submits a crafted serialized PHP payload to a vulnerable slider-handling endpoint, which is passed to unserialize(). If a suitable POP gadget chain is present in WordPress core or another installed component, the injected object triggers arbitrary code execution, file operations, or data manipulation. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and the low attack complexity (AC:L) means no special timing or conditions are needed once a valid account exists. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 10, 2026
Authenticated attackers can exploit a PHP Object Injection flaw (CWE-502) in the WordPress plugin Slider by 10Web (slider-wd) versions up to 1.2.62, potentially achieving remote code execution, file manipulation, or data tampering if a suitable POP gadget chain is present. The vulnerability requires low-privilege authentication (CVSS PR:L) and network access with no user interaction, but its real-world impact is contingent on the availability of a gadget chain in WordPress core or other installed components. No public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is specified in the provided intelligence; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/slider-wd/vulnerability/wordpress-slider-by-10web-plugin-1-2-62-php-object-injection-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for updates. Until a fix is available, the most effective mitigation is to disable the Slider by 10Web plugin, which will remove slider functionality from the site. If the plugin must remain active, restrict access to its administrative and AJAX endpoints to trusted users, and limit user account creation to prevent low-privileged attackers from obtaining the required authentication. Additionally, deploy a web application firewall (WAF) rule to detect and block PHP object injection attempts, though this may not cover all attack vectors. Ensure all WordPress core, themes, and other plugins are kept up to date to reduce the likelihood of a POP gadget chain being available.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a classic PHP Object Injection (CWE-502) in the WordPress plugin Slider by 10Web (slider-wd), which deserializes untrusted input without adequate validation. An attacker with a low-privileged account (e.g., subscriber) can craft a serialized payload that, when processed by the plugin, instantiates arbitrary PHP objects. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H indicates that exploitation is network-based, low complexity, requires authentication, and can lead to high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. However, the advisory does not confirm the exact vulnerable endpoint or whether the plugin itself contains a usable POP chain; without a gadget chain, the impact is limited to the deserialization behavior itself, which may still cause unexpected application state or errors.

DescriptionCVE.org
Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in 10Web Slider by 10Web slider-wd allows Object Injection.This issue affects Slider by 10Web: from n/a through 1.2.62.
Executive ViewAI
A high-severity flaw in the widely deployed WordPress plugin Slider by 10Web (slider-wd, versions up to 1.2.62) allows an authenticated low-privilege user to trigger PHP Object Injection that could escalate to remote code execution, file manipulation, or data tampering on affected sites. Because WordPress is a common public-facing platform, any business unit hosting sites with this plugin - marketing, e-commerce, or customer portals - could face content defacement, data integrity loss, or full site compromise that may serve as a foothold into broader infrastructure. Leadership should care because no vendor patch is currently available, meaning risk must be managed through interim controls and inventory-driven remediation rather than routine patching.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: deactivate or remove the slider-wd plugin (versions up to 1.2.62) where feasible; restrict access to wp-admin, plugin endpoints, and administrative functions by IP allowlisting or an authentication gateway; enforce least-privilege and audit accounts holding Contributor-level or higher roles; deploy WAF rules to block PHP object deserialization payloads targeting slider-wd paths; enable file integrity monitoring on WordPress core, plugin, and wp-content directories; and monitor for suspicious outbound traffic or unexpected PHP file creation. Note that no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but impact may increase if a suitable POP gadget chain becomes available in WordPress core or other installed components.
