Wordfence: MetaSlider has a critical security vulnerability

[ad_1]

@pracko Thanks for using MetaSlider.

To the best of my knowledge this was fixed in December. You can see the changelog for version 3.28.2 of MetaSlider. And you can download the current version of MetaSlider to see we’re using 1.2.2 of AppSero.

But we’re investigating to see why Wordfence would suddenly re-open this today.

Hi @stevejburge and @pracko,

Chloe here from Wordfence! I just wanted to reach out to apologize for this mistake – it was an error on our part. Slider, Gallery, and Carousel by MetaSlider – Responsive WordPress Slideshows was in fact patched in version 3.28.1 and due to an oversight on our part, we mistakenly remarked it as vulnerable. We’ve corrected the record so you should no longer receive a notification that the plugin is vulnerable. We’re investigating how this happened and will implement controls to prevent us from doing this again in the future.

Apologies again for the mistake! All the best,

Chloe

Thanks for the quick response and explanation, @wfchloe.
