What is CVE-2015-9437?

The Dynamic Widgets plugin for WordPress, prior to version 1.5.11, has been identified to have a CSRF vulnerability that can result in Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. Specifically, the vulnerability is triggered via the 'page_limit' parameter on the wp-admin/themes.php?page=dynwid-config page.

It is essential for users to update the plugin to the latest version to mitigate this risk effectively.
