Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-49777 is an improper validation of specified quantity in input vulnerability, tracked under CWE-1284, that affects the Product Slider Pro for WooCommerce plugin by ShapedPlugin, LLC. The flaw exists in all versions prior to 3.5.4 and permits implantation of malicious software. It carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 10.0, reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, no required privileges or user interaction, and changed scope with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
An unauthenticated attacker reachable over the network can supply crafted input that bypasses quantity validation checks, resulting in unauthorized implantation of malicious code. Successful exploitation grants the attacker full control over the affected WordPress site, enabling arbitrary code execution, data exfiltration, or persistence mechanisms.
The single referenced advisory from Patchstack identifies the issue as a backdoor vulnerability in the plugin and points to version 3.5.4 as the corrective release. The EPSS score remains flat at 0.0655 with no material increase since disclosure.

Security testing in development can detect missing quantity validation but does not itself implement the control.
Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation for quantity fields, directly preventing CWE-1284.
Application security requirements explicitly call for validation of size/length inputs, mitigating CWE-1284.
Secure architecture principles encourage robust input handling but do not specifically address quantity validation.
Secure coding standards require explicit checks on numeric quantity inputs, fully addressing CWE-1284.
