Summary

The CodeArt Google MP3 Audio Player plugin (google-mp3-audio-player) for WordPress through 1.0.11 contains an unauthenticated arbitrary file read vulnerability. Remote attackers can retrieve sensitive files by supplying a path-traversal payload in the file parameter of direct_download.php. They can request paths like ../../wp-config.php without authentication to download configuration files containing database credentials and secret keys, leading to full site compromise. Exploitation evidence was first observed on 2023-10-19.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability allows unauthorized access to configuration files with credentials, potentially leading to complete site takeover and data compromise.

Recommendation

Update the plugin to the latest version or remove it if unsupported. Additionally, secure direct_download.php against path traversal.
