AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability CVE-2025-8676 affects the bSlider WordPress plugin up to version 2.0.0. It involves an information disclosure issue (CWE-200) where authenticated users with low privileges (subscriber-level or above) can retrieve sensitive data about installed plugins through the get_active_plugins function. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3 (medium), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and limited confidentiality impact without integrity or availability effects. No patch or vendor advisory is currently provided, and the plugin is not a cloud service.
Potential Impact
An attacker with subscriber-level access can obtain information about installed plugins, which may aid in further targeted attacks or reconnaissance. The confidentiality impact is limited to information disclosure; there is no direct impact on data integrity or service availability. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, consider restricting subscriber-level access or monitoring for suspicious activity related to plugin enumeration. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to low-level users.
