Description

The WP Page Widget plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 3.9. This is due to missing nonce validation on the pw_settings_page() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to invoke the function and update the plugin's settings, via forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
