How the CVE Works:
CVE-2025-48334 is a Missing Authorization flaw in BinaryCarpenter Woo Slider Pro (versions up to 1.12). The vulnerability stems from improper access control in the `woo_slide_pro_delete_slider` action, allowing unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary sliders. The endpoint lacks proper capability checks, enabling any user (even without privileges) to send crafted requests. Attackers exploit this by sending a manipulated HTTP POST request with a malicious `slider_id` parameter, leading to unauthorized data modification. The flaw has a high CVSS 4.0 score due to low attack complexity and no required user interaction.

What Undercode Say:
Exploit:
curl -X POST http://[bash]/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php \ -d 'action=woo_slide_pro_delete_slider&slider_id=[bash]'
Mitigation:
1. Temporary Fix: Restrict `admin-ajax.php` access via `.htaccess`:
<Files "admin-ajax.php"> Require valid-user </Files>
2. Detection (WAF Rule):
SecRule ARGS:action "@streq woo_slide_pro_delete_slider" \ "id:1005,deny,status:403,msg:'CVE-2025-48334 Exploit Attempt'"
3. Patch Check (WordPress):
SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'woo_slider_pro_version';
4. Log Analysis:
grep 'POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep 'woo_slide_pro_delete_slider'
5. PHP Hotfix (Add to theme’s `functions.php`):
add_filter('wp_ajax_woo_slide_pro_delete_slider', function() {
if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) wp_die('Unauthorized', 403);
});
Expected Patch: Vendor should implement capability checks (e.g., current_user_can('edit_posts')) and nonce validation in the slider deletion handler.
Analytics:
- Attack Surface: 320K+ installs (WordPress stats).
