Missing authorization in WordPress Block Slider plugin <=2.2.3 allows attackers to exploit broken access controls.
## What is the vulnerability? The Block Slider plugin for WordPress lacks proper authorization checks, leading to a broken access control vulnerability [1]. This allows attackers to bypass intended security levels and perform actions that should be restricted to higher-privileged users.
## How is it exploited? The vulnerability can be exploited without authentication or with low-privileged access, enabling unprivileged users to execute functions that require higher privileges [1]. There are no specific attacker prerequisites beyond network access to the WordPress site.
Impact
Successful exploitation could allow attackers to modify site content, inject malicious code, or alter plugin settings, potentially leading to full site compromise. The vulnerability is known to be used in mass-exploit campaigns targeting thousands of websites [1].
Mitigation
Users should update the Block Slider plugin to version 2.2.4 or later, which includes a fix. If immediate update is not possible, contact your hosting provider or a web developer for assistance [1].
