WordPress mb.miniAudioPlayer Plugin Information Disclosure and Cross-Site Scripting Two Vulnerabilities

Description

Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in the mb.miniAudioPlayer plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information and conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Input passed via the "fileurl" GET parameter to wp-content/plugins/wp-miniaudioplayer/map_download.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.
2) Input passed via the "fileurl" GET parameter to wp-content/plugins/wp-miniaudioplayer/map_download.php is not properly verified before being used to read files. This can be exploited to disclose the contents of arbitrary local files via directory traversal sequences.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.6.0. Other versions may also be affected.
