Details
The Smart Slider 3 Pro plugin for WordPress contains a malicious backdoor in version 3.5.1.35. This is due to a supply chain compromise that resulted in malicious copies of Smart Slider 3 Pro being installed on sites. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to gain root access to a compromised site.
Remediation: Update to version 3.5.1.36, or a newer patched version
