Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Compact WP Audio Player plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.9.13

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the sc embed player shortcode. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.9.13, update to a version higher than 1.9.13 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the sc embed player shortcode for users with contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
