We’re getting in touch to inform you about a serious vulnerability in a WordPress plugin that was included with a theme(s) you purchased from ThemeForest. You’ve purchased:

Boldial WP – Flat Creative Theme with 3D Portfolio
This vulnerability allows attackers to access the servers of all sites using older versions of the Slider Revolution and Showbiz Pro (WordPress) plugins by ThemePunch. The vulnerability exists for all versions of Slider Revolution earlier than version 4.2 (released in February 2014) and all versions of Showbiz Pro (WordPress) earlier than 1.5.3 (released in January 2014).

We recommend you take the following steps to secure your sites immediately:

Step 1: Check Plugin Versions

Log into the WordPress admin area
Go to the plugins screen
Locate Slider Revolution and/or Showbiz Pro plugin(s) in the list
Check the version number(s)
If you have a version of Revolution Slider plugin that is 4.2 or higher, or Showbiz Pro that is 1.5.3 or higher, your plugin has already been patched. No further action is required.
If you are using an earlier version, you need to download a patched version of the plugin and install it immediately (instructions below).
Step 2: Install Patched Plugin (If Necessary)

Make a backup of your site
Download the theme again from the downloads page (to get a secure version)
Locate the downloaded zip file on your computer and unzip it
Locate the revslider and/or showbiz folders. If you are not able to locate the folders, please contact the theme author.
Connect to your server using an FTP client and go to the wp-content/plugins/ folder
Upload the revslider and/or showbiz folders to the wp-content/plugins/ folder, overwriting the existing files
Log into WordPress and go to the Plugins page
Locate the updated plugins in the list and confirm the version(s) are secure
Update your server password following password best practices
If you used this theme(s) in projects for clients, please help them to secure their sites as well.

We take security seriously at Envato and would like to apologize to everyone affected. More information about the situation and how we are handling it is available in our official announcement.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.
The Envato Team

There has been a serious security issue with revolution slider that was revealed in the beginning of this month. We tweeted about it right away (https://twitter.com/ishyoboydotcom/status/507799246787993601). Envato contacts all users that might have used the slider either buy purchasing it or by purchasing a theme containing it.

Fortunately the problem was in versions before 4.2 and the Boldial never came with such version.

To sum up. There is no need to worry if you are using the revolution slider that came with your theme. In any case make sure to double-check your current version.

Cheers
