A Remote Code Execution vulnerability in the totalbounty Widget Logic Visual plugin allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the underlying server.

The plugin is susceptible to Remote Code Execution due to improper validation of file uploads. This flaw allows an authenticated attacker—specifically one with low-level privileges—to upload malicious files that can be executed by the server.

With a CVSS score of 8.8, this vulnerability facilitates full system compromise by an authenticated attacker. Successful exploitation allows for complete takeover of the WordPress instance, leading to unauthorized data access, potential lateral movement within the hosting environment, and service disruption.

Immediate Action: Immediately deactivate and remove the Widget Logic Visual plugin from all WordPress installations until a verified security patch is released by the vendor.

Proactive Monitoring: Audit server logs for unexpected file uploads or execution of unknown scripts within the plugin directory.

Compensating Controls: Utilize a Web Application Firewall (WAF) configured to block suspicious file upload attempts and restrict access to administrative functions to trusted users only.

Public Exploit Available: false

Given the high severity and the nature of the vulnerability, organizations should treat this as an urgent matter. If the plugin is not essential, permanent removal is the safest course of action until an official, verified patch is provided by the vendor.
