WordPress MP3-jPlayer Plugin "mp3" Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities


Description   Kacper Szurek has discovered two vulnerabilities in the MP3-jPlayer plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed via the "mp3" GET parameter to "mp3-jplayer\download.php" and "mp3-jplayer
emote\downloader.php" is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.8.11. Prior versions may also be affected.
