Unauthenticated slider modification via exposed REST nonce
Published Jun 19, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Missing authorization in Slider Revolution before 6.7.0 allows remote attackers to update slider data through its WordPress REST API. The init_rest_api function registers a slider write route whose check_nonce callback accepts a nonce exposed in public page scripts instead of checking capabilities. No account or special configuration is required; attackers can alter slider parameters, and visitors can later render the changed content.
