Summary

CRLF injection vulnerability in MPD before version 0.24.11 in the xspf_char_data function of the XSPF playlist plugin. Attackers can embed literal CR/LF bytes in URI fields by supplying a malicious XSPF playlist with XML numeric character references.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves injecting forged key-value lines into MPD protocol responses such as playlistinfo, currentsong, and listplaylist, as well as the state file, potentially leading to data manipulation or client-side attacks.

Recommendation

Immediately upgrade Music Player Daemon to version 0.24.11 or later, which fixes this vulnerability.

Other vulnerabilities in Music Player Daemon

CVE-2026-49127High
A stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Music Player Daemon (MPD) before version 0.24.11 exists in the pcm_unpack_24be function in src/pcm/Pack.cxx. An unauthenticated attacker can trigger an off-by-one write by issuing two MPD commands referencing a malicious HTTP audio source, causing three attacker-controlled bytes to be written past a 1365-entry buffer.

Original NVD description (English source)

Music Player Daemon (MPD) before version 0.24.11 contains a CRLF injection vulnerability in the xspf_char_data function within the XSPF playlist plugin that allows attackers to embed literal CR/LF bytes in URI fields by supplying a malicious XSPF playlist with XML numeric character references. Attackers can inject forged key-value lines through the location field into MPD protocol responses including playlistinfo, currentsong, and listplaylist outputs, as well as the state file writer, by exploiting Expat's decoding of numeric character references prior to the character data callback.
