What is CVE-2014-125130?

The CodeArt Google MP3 Audio Player plugin for WordPress, up to version 1.0.11, is susceptible to an unauthenticated arbitrary file read vulnerability. This weakness allows remote attackers to exploit path traversal flaws in the direct_download.php file parameter, enabling them to access sensitive files on the server. By crafting a specific payload, hackers can request files such as ../../wp-config.php, exposing critical information including database credentials and secret keys. This can lead to significant security incidents, including full site compromise. The exploitation of this vulnerability was first identified by the Shadowserver Foundation on October 19, 2023.

Affected Version(s)

CodeArt Google MP3 Audio Player 0 <= 1.0.11
