Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Slider Revolution plugin versions before 6.7.11 contain a stored XSS vulnerability due to improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation. Attackers can inject malicious JavaScript payloads that persist on the server and execute in the browsers of users who view affected slider content.

MitigationUpdate Slider Revolution to version 6.7.11 or later to patch the input sanitization vulnerability.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check if Slider Revolution plugin is installed
    Locate the plugin files in the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/revslider) or check the WordPress admin plugins list. For PHP-based detection, search for 'RevSlider' class or 'revslider' folder.
    Affected if The plugin directory exists or RevSlider code is found in the codebase
  2. Identify the installed version
    Check the plugin version in wp-content/plugins/revslider/readme.txt or revslider.php under 'Version:' field. Alternatively, query the WordPress database in wp_options where option_name contains 'revslider_version' or check plugin headers via get_plugin_data().
    Affected if Version is below 6.7.11 (e.g., 6.7.10, 6.6.0, 6.5.0, etc.)
  3. Verify slider content is exposed publicly
    Check if any published slider shortcodes [rev_slider] or slider aliases are embedded on publicly accessible pages. Inspect the site's frontend for slider output or check the revslider_sliders database table for published (not draft) sliders.
    Affected if At least one slider is published and visible to unauthenticated users on the site
  4. Confirm user input can reach slider settings
    Review if non-admin users can create or edit sliders. Check WordPress role capabilities for 'edit_revslider' or 'manage_options' requirements. Test accessing /wp-admin/admin.php?page=revslider with different user roles.
    Affected if Users with contributor/author/editor roles (not just administrators) can access the slider editor interface

The environment is affected if the Slider Revolution plugin is installed with a version lower than 6.7.11 AND at least one slider is publicly accessible or editable by non-admin users.
