Can you tell me if this note is true?

What is the fix for this?

“About 2 months ago , someone publicly disclosed a serious vulnerability in the WordPress Plugin Slider Revolution Premium which allows a remote attacker to download any file from the server .

The shared concept of evidence through illegal sites shows how someone can easily download the wp -config.php :

http://victim.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=revslider_show_image&img=../wp-config.php

This is used to steal the credentials of the database , which then allows you to compromise the site through the database.

This type of vulnerability is known as a Local File Inclusion attack ( LFI ) . The attacker is able to access, review , download a local file on the server. This, in case you’re asking is a very serious vulnerability that should be addressed immediately.”

Hello,

You’re talking about theme version, which now is 2.5. Please update the theme and create a back up of your files and database before update.

I received an email from my hosting saying there is a major vulnerability issue with my revolution slider. I temporarily disabled this plugin bc the version I was using was 4.1.4 even though i have loaded the latest Legenda update 2.5. Can you update my revolution slider to the most current version

Please, contact administrator
for this information.
