CVE-2024-13157: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in sonaar MP3 Audio Player – Music Player, Podcast Player & Radio by Sonaar
The MP3 Audio Player – Music Player, Podcast Player & Radio by Sonaar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Podcast RSS Feed in all versions up to, and including, 5.9.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Sonaar MP3 Audio Player WordPress plugin suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, user-supplied attributes in the Podcast RSS Feed are not properly sanitized or escaped, allowing authenticated contributors or higher to inject arbitrary scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 5.9.3. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher privileges can inject malicious scripts via the Podcast RSS Feed that execute in the browsers of users who view the affected pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity impacts such as theft of session tokens or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of users. There is no impact on availability. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, limit contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or restricting the use of the Podcast RSS Feed feature if feasible.
