Description
The Smart Slider 3 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in versions up to, and including, 3.5.1.9 via deserialization of untrusted input. This allows contributor-level attackers to inject a PHP Object. No POP chain is present in the vulnerable plugin. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it could allow the attacker to delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code.
