Widget Options Extended
Monthly
Remote code execution in Widget Options plugin for WordPress (all versions ≤4.2.2) allows authenticated Contributor-level users to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server by bypassing input validation in the Display Logic feature. The plugin's unsafe use of eval() on user-controlled expressions, combined with insufficient authorization checks on the extended_widget_opts_block attribute, enables attackers to chain array_map with string concatenation to bypass blocklists. Version 4.2.0 included a partial patch, indicating the vulnerability remains exploitable in current versions. No CISA KEV listing or public POC identified at time of analysis, but EPSS data not provided for risk calibration.
