Exploitation Conditions

Requires authenticated access with subscriber-level privileges or higher on the target WordPress installation. Subscriber is the lowest privilege tier in WordPress, typically granted to registered users and often available through public registration forms on membership sites, blogs, and community portals. The target site must have Slider Revolution plugin versions 7.0.0 through 7.0.10 actively installed. No special plugin configuration or feature enablement is required beyond default installation. Exploitation is limited by the need for valid WordPress credentials, but the low privilege requirement significantly expands the potential attacker pool compared to vulnerabilities requiring administrator access. Sites that disable user registration or restrict account creation to trusted users face lower risk, though compromised existing accounts remain a vector.

Impact

Real-world risk is HIGH despite lack of confirmed exploitation. The CVSS score of 8.8 accurately reflects the severe impact (C:H/I:H/A:H) and ease of exploitation (AC:L, no user interaction required). While no EPSS score or CISA KEV status is provided in available data, the low barrier to exploitation is concerning: WordPress subscriber accounts are the lowest privilege tier, often freely available through public registration on blogs and membership sites. The attack vector is network-based with low complexity, meaning any authenticated user can potentially exploit this without specialized skills. The partial patch in 7.0.10 indicates complexity in the vulnerability that required iterative fixes, suggesting potential for bypass or incomplete remediation in intermediate versions. No public exploit code is confirmed from provided references, which may limit immediate widespread exploitation, but the technical details disclosed by Wordfence provide sufficient information for capable attackers to develop exploits. Priority should be HIGH for any WordPress installation running Slider Revolution 7.0.0-7.0.10, especially those allowing public user registration or with untrusted subscriber accounts.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker creates a subscriber account on a WordPress site running Slider Revolution 7.0.0-7.0.10, either through public registration if enabled or by compromising existing low-privilege credentials. The attacker crafts a malicious HTTP request to the plugin's media upload functionality, exploiting the '_get_media_url' or '_check_file_path' functions to upload a PHP webshell disguised with insufficient file type validation. Once uploaded, the attacker accesses the webshell via direct HTTP request to execute arbitrary system commands with web server privileges, enabling data exfiltration, further privilege escalation, or complete site compromise.

AnalysisAIv1 – May 07, 2026

Remote code execution in Slider Revolution for WordPress versions 7.0.0 through 7.0.10 allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level privileges to upload executable files via insufficient file type validation in '_get_media_url' and '_check_file_path' functions. A partial patch in 7.0.10 was insufficient, requiring upgrade to 7.0.11 for complete remediation. With CVSS 8.8 (High) and low privilege requirements (subscriber accounts are commonly available or easily created), this represents significant risk for WordPress installations using affected versions, though no active exploitation has been confirmed via CISA KEV at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Upgrade immediately to Slider Revolution version 7.0.11 or later, which contains the complete patch for this arbitrary file upload vulnerability. Version 7.0.10 contains only a partial fix and must not be considered secure. Administrators should verify the installed version via WordPress admin dashboard under Plugins and update through the plugin's update mechanism or by downloading from https://www.sliderrevolution.com/. After patching, conduct a security review to identify any suspicious files uploaded during the vulnerable period, particularly in wp-content/uploads/ and plugin-specific directories. If immediate patching is not possible, implement these compensating controls with noted trade-offs: (1) Temporarily deactivate the Slider Revolution plugin until upgrade is completed - this breaks existing slider functionality but eliminates the attack surface; (2) Restrict new user registration and audit existing subscriber accounts, removing untrusted users - this reduces attacker entry points but doesn't prevent exploitation by existing malicious subscribers; (3) Implement web application firewall rules to block suspicious file upload patterns to the affected functions - this may cause false positives for legitimate media uploads and requires ongoing tuning. Consult Wordfence advisory for additional indicators of compromise.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Slider Revolution is a widely-deployed premium WordPress slider and visual builder plugin. The vulnerability stems from CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type) in the media handling functions '_get_media_url' and '_check_file_path'. These functions fail to properly validate file types during upload operations, allowing attackers to bypass intended restrictions. WordPress plugins execute PHP code server-side, so uploading a PHP webshell or malicious executable grants direct code execution in the web server context. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:revolution_slider:slider_revolution) confirms this is a plugin-level vulnerability affecting the Revolution Slider product from ThemePunch across versions 7.0.0-7.0.10. The CVSS vector AV:N indicates network-based exploitation, while PR:L confirms authenticated (low-privilege) access is required, consistent with the description's mention of subscriber-level accounts.

DescriptionCVE.org

The Slider Revolution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload in versions 7.0.0 to 7.0.10 via the '_get_media_url' and '_check_file_path' function. This is due to insufficient file type validation. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to upload files that may be executable, which makes remote code execution possible. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 7.0.10 and fully patched in version 7.0.11.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Slider Revolution for WordPress versions 7.0.0-7.0.10 contain a remote code execution vulnerability allowing subscriber-level users to upload and execute malicious files, potentially giving attackers full site control. This poses critical risk to any WordPress deployment using the plugin, as subscriber accounts are trivial to obtain or create, and the vulnerability requires no special access. Organizations must immediately identify and remediate affected installations.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Vendor-released patch: Slider Revolution version 7.0.11. Interim mitigations if immediate upgrade is not feasible: disable the Slider Revolution plugin completely; restrict subscriber account creation via admin policy; implement file type whitelisting at the web server level to block executable uploads from wp-content directories; enable detailed file upload logging to detect anomalous activity.
