MITRE ATT&CK

2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

The plugin must be installed and active on a WordPress site running version <= 5.13.1. The attacker must be able to supply input that the plugin stores or reflects without sanitization - this likely requires access to a public-facing form, endpoint, or media metadata field exposed by the plugin (exact input vector not specified in available data). A victim with an active browser session on the WordPress site must subsequently visit a page that renders the plugin's output containing the injected payload (UI:R). Exploitation is limited to triggering actions or stealing credentials within the victim's browser context; direct server-side code execution is not indicated. No authentication is required from the attacker side (PR:N), but successful impact depends on the victim being authenticated or having a valuable session.

Impact

The CVSS 7.1 score with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L accurately characterizes the risk profile. The low complexity and no-privilege-required attributes make this trivially exploitable from the network. The key limiting factor is UI:R - a victim (likely an authenticated WordPress administrator or logged-in user) must visit the page containing the injected payload, which is consistent with a stored XSS scenario where the payload lies dormant until triggered. Impact metrics are assessed as L/L/L (Low confidentiality, integrity, availability), which is standard for XSS in scope-changed contexts - session token theft or admin action hijacking is plausible but constrained to the browser session. No EPSS data was provided; no KEV listing exists; no POC has been publicly identified. The practical priority is medium: sites hosting audio/podcast content with public-facing submission forms or comment fields in the plugin are most exposed, but mass exploitation is unlikely without a published proof-of-concept.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site running Sonaar MP3 Audio Player <= 5.13.1 and submits a crafted payload (e.g., a malicious track title or metadata field) containing a JavaScript snippet through a public-facing input accepted by the plugin. When a logged-in WordPress administrator navigates to a page that renders the affected audio player output, the script executes in their browser, allowing the attacker to exfiltrate the admin's session cookie or perform privileged WordPress actions (such as creating a rogue admin account) via forged authenticated requests. No public proof-of-concept has been identified, but the attack is mechanically straightforward for any attacker familiar with WordPress plugin XSS patterns.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 02, 2026

Unauthenticated stored or reflected Cross-Site Scripting in the MP3 Audio Player for Music, Radio & Podcast by Sonaar WordPress plugin (versions <= 5.13.1) allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in a victim's browser when they visit an affected page. The CVSS vector (PR:N, S:C) confirms exploitation requires no authentication and crosses into the browser security context, making this a meaningful risk on any WordPress site running the affected plugin. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though Patchstack has documented the issue.

RemediationAI

Update the MP3 Audio Player for Music, Radio & Podcast by Sonaar plugin to the version released after 5.13.1 - check the WordPress plugin repository or Patchstack advisory at the reference URL for the exact fixed release version, as the input data does not specify it. If an immediate update is not possible, restrict public-facing input surfaces that feed into plugin rendering (e.g., disable playlist submission or any user-controlled metadata fields if the plugin exposes them), and consider a Web Application Firewall rule targeting script-injection patterns in requests destined for the plugin's endpoints. Note that WAF mitigations may interfere with legitimate rich-text or URL inputs the plugin processes. Authenticated WordPress administrators should avoid visiting plugin-rendered pages in the same browser session used for admin work until patched.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is a WordPress plugin - CPE cpe:2.3:a:sonaar:mp3_audio_player_for_music,_radio_&_podcast_by_sonaar - used to embed audio players for music, radio streams, and podcasts. CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) indicates the plugin fails to sanitize or escape user-supplied input before rendering it in an HTML page context. The CVSS S:C (Scope Changed) metric confirms the classic XSS scope boundary crossing: the vulnerability exists in the WordPress/PHP server context but the impact is realized in the victim's browser JavaScript context. The PR:N metric confirms the injection vector requires no authentication, meaning any external visitor can deliver the malicious payload.

DescriptionCVE.org

Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in MP3 Audio Player for Music, Radio & Podcast by Sonaar <= 5.13.1 versions.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The MP3 Audio Player for Music, Radio & Podcast by Sonaar WordPress plugin (versions 5.13.1 and earlier) contains an unauthenticated Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious JavaScript executed in visitors' browsers. This exposes website visitors to credential theft, malware distribution, and unauthorized actions, potentially damaging customer trust and creating organizational liability.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: disable the plugin, deploy WAF rules to filter XSS payloads, enforce Content Security Policy headers to restrict script execution, and implement input sanitization at the application layer.
