Summary

The MP3 Audio Player WordPress plugin before 5.16 does not escape one of its audio player shortcode attributes before outputting it into an HTML attribute. This allows users with Contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes when another user, such as an administrator previewing a pending post, views the content.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with Contributor privileges can inject a malicious script that executes in the administrator's browser session, potentially leading to account takeover.

Recommendation

Update the MP3 Audio Player plugin to version 5.16 or later.
