Detection Guidance

The vulnerability in Slider Revolution up to version 7.0.9 allows unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data via the 'get_stream_data()' function, which is accessible through the 'sliders/stream' endpoint.

To detect this vulnerability on your system, you can check the installed version of the Slider Revolution plugin and verify if it is version 7.0.9 or earlier, which are vulnerable.

Additionally, you can attempt to detect exploitation attempts or probe for the vulnerable endpoint by monitoring HTTP requests to the 'sliders/stream' endpoint on your WordPress site.

Example commands to check the plugin version on your server (assuming command line access):

• Use WP-CLI to check the plugin version: wp plugin list | grep slider-revolution
• Manually check the plugin version in the plugin's main PHP file, e.g., grep 'Version' wp-content/plugins/slider-revolution/slider-revolution.php

To detect potential exploitation attempts, you can monitor web server logs for requests to the vulnerable endpoint, for example:

• grep 'sliders/stream' /var/log/apache2/access.log
• grep 'sliders/stream' /var/log/nginx/access.log

If you want to test the vulnerability manually, you could attempt to send an unauthenticated HTTP request to the 'sliders/stream' endpoint and observe if sensitive data is returned, but this should be done carefully and only on systems you own or have permission to test.
