What is CVE-2026-7615?

The Widget Context plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to inadequate nonce validation in the save_widget_context_settings function. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate the widget visibility context settings stored in the WordPress options table. This is achievable through a deceptive POST request to /wp-admin/widgets.php, contingent on successfully tricking a site administrator into interacting with a malicious link.
