What is CVE-2015-9537?

The NextGEN Gallery plugin for WordPress is affected by multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities arise from improper input validation related to specific parameters like thumbnail_width, thumbnail_height, thumbwidth, thumbheight, wmXpos, and wmYpos, as well as the template field. This allows attackers to inject malicious scripts that could execute in a user's browser, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data exposure on the compromised WordPress site.
