What the vulnerability does
The Slider Revolution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 6.7.36 via the 'used_svg' and 'used_images' parameters. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Slider Revolution versions up to 6.7.36 contain a path traversal vulnerability that allows authenticated users to read arbitrary files from the server. An attacker with low-level site access can bypass directory restrictions and access sensitive files outside the intended application directories. This affects confidentiality but not integrity or availability.
What an attacker can do
Read arbitrary files from the server filesystem, including configuration files and other sensitive data.
Potential impact on your site
Sensitive files (database configs, API keys, user data) may be exposed to authenticated users with minimal privileges.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege authenticated account on the site (e.g., subscriber or contributor role).
