CVE-2015-4414 Scanner

SE HTML5 Album Audio Player is a plugin for WordPress that allows users to create audio albums and playlists with HTML5 features, making it easier to share music and audio files on their websites. The plugin offers several customization options, including the ability to change the appearance of the audio player and create playlists with multiple tracks. It is widely used among WordPress users as it is a convenient tool to showcase their audio content in a professional manner.

However, the plugin has a vulnerability, known as CVE-2015-4414, that allows any remote attacker to read arbitrary files by exploiting a directory traversal vulnerability in the plugin's download_audio.php file. Essentially, the attacker can use the "dot dot" method to bypass file system access controls and access files outside the intended directory, resulting in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information. 

In its worst form, exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to the complete takeover of a website by an attacker, allowing them to gain access to sensitive information and potentially install malware. It is imperative that website owners take this vulnerability seriously and act swiftly to protect their websites from potential attacks.

In conclusion, thanks to the s4e.io platform's pro features, website owners can easily and quickly learn about vulnerabilities in their digital assets and take appropriate action to protect their websites from potential attacks. By regularly auditing and scanning for vulnerabilities, updating their plugins and implementing security measures, webmasters can stay ahead of potential threats and keep their websites secure.
