Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2015-10100 affects the WordPress Dynamic Widgets Plugin versions 1.5.0 through 1.5.10. An authenticated remote user may be able to trigger SQL injection in classes/dynwid_class.php, risking limited database confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Version 1.5.11 is listed as the fix.
Executive priority
Treat this as a focused remediation item for WordPress estates. It is not KEV-listed and needs authentication, but SQL injection can affect business data. Upgrade affected installations during the next normal security maintenance window, sooner for exposed or high-value sites.
Technical view
The source bundle maps this issue to CWE-89 in Dynamic Widgets Plugin, with CVSS v2 6.5 AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P. The vulnerable area is classes/dynwid_class.php, but the exact parameter and route are not provided. The cited patch is commit d0a19c6efcdc86d7093b369bc9e29a0629e57795 and release 1.5.11.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to WordPress sites with Dynamic Widgets Plugin versions 1.5.0 through 1.5.10 installed. The CVSS vector indicates authenticated remote access is required, but the required user role or permission level is not stated in the supplied sources.
Exploitation context
The source bundle says the attack may be initiated remotely and requires authentication. It is not listed in KEV, and the supplied sources do not provide evidence of active exploitation, public exploit use, or weaponized campaigns.
Researcher notes
The evidence identifies the plugin, affected version range, vulnerable file, CWE, CVSS vector, and patch. It does not identify the exact sink, parameter, reachable route, required WordPress role, exploit maturity, or observed exploitation. Validate findings by version and patch presence, not by assumptions about exploitability.
Mitigation direction
- Upgrade Dynamic Widgets Plugin to version 1.5.11 or later.
- Prioritize internet-facing WordPress sites using affected plugin versions.
- Remove unnecessary WordPress accounts until the plugin is upgraded.
- If upgrade is blocked, check vendor guidance before applying compensating controls.
Validation and detection
- Inventory WordPress sites for the Dynamic Widgets Plugin.
- Confirm installed versions are not 1.5.0 through 1.5.10.
- Verify the deployed plugin includes release 1.5.11 or the cited patch commit.
- Review authenticated WordPress activity for unusual database errors or plugin-related changes.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
