What is CVE-2026-14158?
CVE-2026-14158 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in totalbounty Widget Logic Visual, published on 8 Jul 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
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.
