                                          • CSRF to RCE reported by Paul Dannewitz. Widget Logic provides a comfortable way to dynamically toggle widget visibility with custom PHP code. By eval'ing the logic registered for each widget, the plugin determines if it should be shown or not.

This results in a Remote Code Execution.
