Identified
Our team has been made aware of a vulnerability in the LayerSlider Plugin used on WordPress.
The LayerSlider plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the ls_get_popup_markup action in versions 7.9.11 and 7.10.0 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
Our Engineers are working on a patch to deploy to our fleet to patch this vulnerability specifically in our mod security system. In the mean time all users of the LayerSlider Plugin are strongly encouraged to upgrade to version 7.10.1, which also has the issue fixed.
We will provide updates on our patching process.
