Strategic Overview

Vulnerability Overview

The Content Slider Block plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.5 via the [csb] shortcode due to insufficient restrictions on which posts can be included. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to extract data from password protected, private, or draft posts that they should not have access to.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.1.6, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.
