DescriptionCVE.org

Editor Remote Code Execution (RCE) in Responsive Slider by MetaSlider <= 3.106.0 versions.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in the WordPress 'Responsive Slider by MetaSlider' plugin (versions ≤3.106.0) allows authenticated users with Editor-level privileges to inject and execute arbitrary code on the underlying server. The flaw is tracked as CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code) and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.1 because exploitation crosses a scope boundary, but no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

Technical ContextAI

The affected component is the 'ml-slider' WordPress plugin distributed as 'Responsive Slider by MetaSlider' (CPE cpe:2.3:a:metaslider:responsive_slider_by_metaslider). CWE-94 indicates the plugin processes attacker-controlled input that ends up evaluated as PHP code or otherwise dispatched to a code execution sink, rather than treated strictly as data. Because WordPress Editors can manage plugin-driven content such as slides, captions, shortcodes, and embedded HTML, a code-injection sink reachable from an Editor-facing endpoint is sufficient to reach the PHP runtime hosting the site.

RemediationAI

Upgrade the 'Responsive Slider by MetaSlider' plugin to the first release above 3.106.0 published on the WordPress plugin repository; the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/ml-slider/vulnerability/wordpress-responsive-slider-by-metaslider-plugin-3-106-0-remote-code-execution-rce-vulnerability) should be consulted for the exact fixed version once listed. Patch available per vendor advisory but no exact fixed version is supplied in the input, so administrators should verify the installed version is strictly greater than 3.106.0. As compensating controls until the upgrade lands, demote untrusted Editor accounts to Author or Contributor (Editors are the minimum role that can trigger the bug), enforce MFA on all Editor/Admin logins to reduce credential-theft risk, deploy the Patchstack or equivalent vPatch/WAF rule that virtually patches MetaSlider, and temporarily deactivate the plugin if slider functionality is non-essential - note that deactivation will break any front-end pages embedding MetaSlider shortcodes.
