Is Widget Logic safe to use?

Laskyr does not give safety verdicts. Widget Logic is closed on wordpress.org. Closed on 2026-04-14 (reason given: Guideline Violation). Closed plugins get no updates through WordPress, so new security holes will not be fixed for you. Keep Widget Logic on the latest version and remove it if you do not use it.

Which versions of Widget Logic are vulnerable?

Known issues on record (newest first): Remote code execution (6.0.5 and older, fixed in 6.0.6); Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) (older than 5.10.2, fixed in 5.10.2). The full list with sources is on this page.

What should I do if my Widget Logic is out of date?

Take a backup, then update it from Dashboard > Updates (or run wp plugin update widget-logic). If you cannot update right away, deactivate it until you can. If you think the site was already attacked, run a free scan at https://laskyr.com/scan.

Is Widget Logic safe? Known vulnerabilities and latest version

Status: Closed 2026-04-14
Known issues on record: 2
Unpatched in latest: 0

What to do

Replace it. A closed plugin gets no updates through WordPress, so any hole found from now on stays open.
Deactivate and delete it once you have a replacement (Plugins → Deactivate → Delete). Deleting removes its files; deactivating alone leaves them on the server.
If you ran a vulnerable version and something looks off (spam pages, strange admins, redirects), run the free scan, or have us clean it: Emergency Cleanup, $499.

With WP-CLI, once you have a replacement: wp plugin deactivate widget-logic && wp plugin delete widget-logic
