I received the following email from Bluehost today:
Slider Revolution Premium Plugin has released a new version 4.6.5 for their plugin. A recent hack has been found in older versions of this plugin that allows an attacker to download any file from your hosting account, such as the configuration file containing the database passwords. Once the attacker has this information the attacker can comprise your website via the database.
This vulnerability is being exploited currently which is causing numerous domains to become blacklisted by Google. For additional details please refer to this link http://blog.sucuri.net/2014/12/soaksoak-malware-compromises-100000-wordpress-websites.html
Your account was found to have the Slider Revolution Premium Plugin. Due to the vulnerability this creates to your website and our servers we strongly recommend that you upgrade this plugin to the most recent version 4.6.5. We also strongly recommend that you update all of your plugins and themes as the Slider Revolution Plugin is included in a number of other themes and plugins. It is strongly recommend you update your WordPress installation(s) to the most current version at this time as well.
** If the Slider Revolution Premium Plugin is not updated by 28 December 2014 we will be forced to disable the plugin in order to protect our servers from being blacklisted. **
The easiest way to resolve this is to log into your WordPress admin control panel and click on Plugins (located on the left panel). Scroll down and find Slider Revolution Plugin in the list, the version number will be listed in the description. If a WordPress plugin update is available, it will be shown on the Dashboard Panel, an alert on the Plugin’s menu title, and on the Plugin List. You can also refer to our Knowledge Base article https://my.bluehost/hosting/help/emergency-wordpress-plugin-update-slider-revolution for directions on updating the plugin.

Hi sharmstr, I updated to Kleo 2.3 last week but my rev slider is still 4.6.3. Shouldn’t it have also updated with the theme?
No. You need to do that. Its located in the download.
