Input validation vulnerability in WP Category Post List Widget 2.0.3

The WP Category Post List Widget plugin for WordPress has a security issue in versions up to and including 2.0.3. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability to change the plugin’s settings by sending a forged request to a site administrator, if the administrator can be tricked into clicking a malicious link. This is because the ‘gen_set_page’ function does not have the correct security measures in place.
