- CVE-2026-7615, 22 May 2026
- 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. CVE record
What to do if you run Widget Context
If you run Widget Context, open WordPress and check the installed version in Plugins. Compare it with the affected versions in the vulnerability record. If a fixed version is available, take a current backup and update to that version or the latest supported release.
If no fixed version exists, consider disabling and removing the plugin or replacing it with a maintained alternative. After dealing with the affected software, check administrator users, unexpected file changes, redirects, unfamiliar pages and security logs for signs that the site may already have been altered.
