CVE-2026-7249: Shapedplugin Location Weather – WordPress Weather Forecast, Aqi, Temperature And Weather Widget

Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Location Weather plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to missing capability checks on the `splw_update_block_options()` and `lwp_clean_weather_transients()` functions in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to disable all weather blocks and purge all weather cache transients. The nonce required for these actions is exposed to all authenticated users via `wp_localize_script()` on the `init` hook.
