Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

This report covers an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the CLEVER – HTML5 Radio Player With History – Shoutcast and Icecast – Elementor Widget Addon plugin for WordPress. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the server of an affected site, which may contain sensitive information like database credentials. It’s a serious issue that can expose critical data and potentially compromise the entire system.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-3103

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

CLEVER – HTML5 Radio Player With History – Shoutcast and Icecast – Elementor Widget Addon plugin for WordPress | Up to and including 2.4<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability is due to insufficient file path validation in the ‘history.php’ file. An attacker can send a specially crafted request to the server hosting the vulnerable plugin. The server, failing to properly validate the requested file path, will return the content of any file specified by the attacker.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited using an HTTP GET request. In this example, the attacker attempts to read the ‘wp-config.php’ file, which typically contains sensitive information such as database credentials.<\/p>\n

GET \/wp-content\/plugins\/clever-html5-radio-player\/history.php?file=..\/..\/..\/wp-config.php HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com<\/code><\/pre>\n
Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n
To mitigate this vulnerability, apply the vendor patch as soon as possible. If a patch cannot be immediately applied, use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as a temporary mitigation. These systems can be configured to block or alert on attempts to exploit this vulnerability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
