CVE-2024-8672
The Widget Options – The #1 WordPress Widget & Block Control Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.7 via the display logic functionality that extends several page builders. This is due to the plugin allowing users to supply input that will be passed through eval() without any filtering or capability checks. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to execute code on the server.

Special note: We suggested the vendor implement an allowlist of functions and limit the ability to execute commands to just administrators, however, they did not take our advice. We are considering this patched, however, we believe it could still be further hardened and there may be residual risk with how the issue is currently patched.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 9.9
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 44%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 99
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1210Exploitation of Remote Serviceslateral movement75 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution85 %
AV:N/PR:L sin UI indica acceso remoto autenticado; eval() sin filtros permite RCE. Aunque PR:L sugiere T1210, la entrada es directa y PR:L en servicios web suele ser T1190 en contexto HTTP, pero la arquitectura (plugin WordPress con contrib) apunta a T1210.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.

"value": "El complemento Widget Options – The #1 WordPress Widget & Block Control Plugin de WordPress es vulnerable a la ejecución remota de código en todas las versiones hasta la 4.0.7 incluida, a través de la funcionalidad de lógica de visualización que extiende varios creadores de páginas. Esto se debe a que el complemento permite a los usuarios proporcionar información que se pasará a través de eval() sin ningún filtro ni comprobaciones de capacidad. Esto hace posible que los atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de colaborador y superior, ejecuten código en el servidor. Nota especial: sugerimos al proveedor implementar una lista de funciones permitidas y limitar la capacidad de ejecutar comandos solo a los administradores, sin embargo, no siguieron nuestro consejo. Estamos considerando la posibilidad de parchear esto, sin embargo, creemos que aún se podría endurecer aún más y puede haber un riesgo residual con la forma en que se ha parcheado el problema actualmente."
