Unrestricted File Upload in Widget Logic Visual (WordPress plugin) (CVE-2026-14158)
Summary
Vulnerability in Widget Logic Visual (WordPress plugin) (CVE-2026-14158). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
The Widget Logic Visual plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.52 via the widget_logic_visual_check_visibility function. This is due to missing capability check and nonce verification on the widget-logic-update-conditional-tags AJAX action combined with insufficient sanitization of the 'nwlv[cod-tag]' parameter before storage and subsequent use in an eval() call. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to execute code on the server.
