CVE-2026-7615 Details
Description
The Widget Context plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.3. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the save_widget_context_settings function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify widget visibility context settings stored in the WordPress options table via a forged POST request to /wp-admin/widgets.php via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability has been identified in the Widget Context plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 1.3.3. The issue arises from inadequate nonce validation in the 'save_widget_context_settings' function, allowing unauthenticated attackers to manipulate widget visibility settings stored in the WordPress options table. This can be achieved by sending a forged POST request to '/wp-admin/widgets.php', tricking a site administrator into clicking a link that initiates the request.
Users are advised to update the Widget Context plugin to version 1.4.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
