DescriptionCVE.org

The The Welcomizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to and including 2.8.1. This is due to missing authorization checks on the twiz_ajax_callback AJAX action's 'savesection' handler combined with the use of eval() to execute user-supplied 'custom logic' code on the frontend. The AJAX handler at twiz-ajax.php verifies a nonce but performs no current_user_can() capability check for the ACTION_SAVE_SECTION case. Furthermore, the nonce is exposed to any authenticated user through the directly-accessible twiz-ajax.js.php file which loads WordPress and outputs the nonce. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary PHP code via the twiz_custom_logic POST parameter when saving a section with output choice 'twiz_logic_output'.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in The Welcomizer WordPress plugin versions up to and including 2.8.1 lets authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher execute arbitrary PHP on the server by abusing the twiz_ajax_callback AJAX action's savesection handler. The handler checks a nonce but omits a current_user_can() capability check, and eval() processes attacker-supplied PHP from the twiz_custom_logic POST parameter when output is set to twiz_logic_output; the nonce is exposed to any authenticated user via twiz-ajax.js.php, so it does not prevent exploitation. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires an authenticated WordPress account at Subscriber level or above (PR:L) on a site running The Welcomizer <=2.8.1. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine high-priority vulnerability where the vendor CVSS of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) accurately reflects the impact - unlike many WordPress 'RCE'-tagged CVEs, the eval() of attacker-supplied PHP here produces real server-side code execution, fully justifying C:H/I:H/A:H. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis for CVE-2026-4327; because The Welcomizer <=2.8.1 is vulnerable, the primary action is to deactivate and remove the plugin from affected WordPress sites until a patched version is available. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory every WordPress instance running The Welcomizer at version 2.8.1 or earlier and, where the plugin is not business-essential, deactivate and remove it immediately; where it must remain online, deploy a WAF rule blocking requests to admin-ajax.php carrying action=twiz_ajax_callback or the twiz_custom_logic parameter, force password resets and session invalidation for all administrator accounts, and disable open user registration or audit existing Subscriber accounts for unexpected entries. …
