Summary
The Slider Revolution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in versions 7.0.0 - 7.0.14, via the 'slider.get.full' AJAX Action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to extract sensitive data including raw social media API credentials: the Instagram OAuth token, Flickr API key, YouTube Data API key, and Facebook App ID, stored in any configured slider's settings.
