CVE-2025-5340

Music Player for Elementor <= 2.4.6 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via album_buy_url Parameter

Published Jun 3, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 6.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The Music Player for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘album_buy_url’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

Music Player for Elementor contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw in the album_buy_url field that is not sanitized or escaped. An authenticated user with Contributor or higher privileges can insert arbitrary JavaScript into this parameter. When a visitor opens the affected album page, the stored payload is rendered and executed in the visitor’s browser, enabling a range of attacks from defacement to credential theft. The weakness is a classic Stored XSS vulnerability (CWE‑79).

Affected Systems

The flaw affects the smartwpress Music Player for Elementor – Audio Player & Podcast Player plugin on WordPress sites. All releases up through 2.4.6 are vulnerable; any site running one of these bundled versions is at risk if it has a user who can edit album entries.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate risk, while the EPSS score of less than 1 % suggests a low current probability of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed by CISA in the KEV catalog. Exploitation requires the attacker to obtain Contributor‑level or higher authentication on the target site, after which the attacker can craft a malicious payload that is stored in album_buy_url and later delivered to any user who visits the page, executing arbitrary JavaScript.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Music Player for Elementor plugin to the latest stable release, which removes or fixes the unsanitized album_buy_url handling.
  • If an upgrade is not possible, temporarily disable the plugin or remove the album_buy_url feature to prevent the storage of user‑controlled URLs.
  • Strengthen role and permission configuration so that only trusted administrators have Contributor or higher privileges, and audit the plugin configuration to ensure proper input validation and output encoding for all user‑supplied fields.
