IdentifiersCVE-2026-49777CWE-1284· Improper Validation of Specified…

CVE-2026-49777 affects ShapedPlugin, LLC Product Slider Pro for WooCommerce, a WordPress plugin. The available content describes the issue as an improper validation of specified quantity in input vulnerability that allows malicious software to be implanted, and multiple references characterize it as a supply-chain backdoor leading to remote code execution. Affected versions are reported as versions before 3.5.4, while some supporting references mention before 3.5.3; the provided material does not resolve this discrepancy. The technical root cause and vulnerable function are not disclosed in the supplied content, so more specific exploit mechanics cannot be stated with confidence.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation can result in malicious software implantation within affected WordPress environments, consistent with a supply-chain compromise/backdoor scenario. Based on the provided CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H), exploitation is network-reachable, requires no privileges or user interaction, and can have high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. In practice, this may enable arbitrary code execution, unauthorized modification of site content or plugin code, theft of sensitive data, and full compromise of the affected web application context.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Because no reliably identifiable patched version is available in the supplied content, the safest mitigation is to disable or uninstall Product Slider Pro for WooCommerce until the vendor publishes a uniquely versioned fixed release. Additionally, restrict plugin installation and update permissions, verify plugin package integrity from trusted sources, monitor WordPress files and plugin directories for unauthorized changes, review administrator accounts and scheduled tasks for persistence, and rotate credentials/secrets stored on or accessible from the affected site if compromise is suspected.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade to a vendor release that contains the fix and is published under a distinct new version identifier once such a release is available. The supplied content states that the vendor applied a fix to an existing release without publishing a new version number, which prevents reliable verification of patch status. Until a uniquely versioned fixed release is available, treat affected installations as unpatched. If operationally feasible, remove or replace the plugin with a trusted alternative.
