Emergency WordPress Plugin Update: Slider Revolution Print

  • 65

The WordPress plugin; Slider Revolution, versions prior to 4.2, has been found to be vulnerable to unauthenticated file access. This means that hackers are able to use this plugin to access any content on your hosting account, e.g. config files containing passwords. On September 3rd 2014 we attempted to force upgrade all instances of the plugin, however due to the way this plugin has been designed we were unable to force the upgrade.

Is my WordPress installation vulnerable?

You will need to confirm that you are running, at least, version 4.2 of the Slider Revolution plugin. Because this plugin has been packaged with many themes you will need to check for theme updates as well as for an update for the plugin.

Updating the Plugin:

  •     Login to your WordPress Dashboard.
  •     Open the Slider Revolution backend.
  •     Locate the Update button, should be in the lower right corner.
