CVE-2024-1041
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe WP Radio – Worldwide Online Radio Stations Directory for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's settings in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping as well as insufficient access control on the settings. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify WP Radio plugin is installedCheck the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/) for a folder named 'wp-radio' or 'wpmilitary-wp-radio'. Alternatively, log into WordPress admin and look for WP Radio in the Plugins list.Affected if The plugin is found installed in the WordPress environment
-
Determine installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and find WP Radio. The version number is displayed in the plugin description. Alternatively, open the main plugin PHP file (e.g., wp-radio/wp-radio.php) and check the 'Version' header in the plugin comments.Affected if The displayed version is 3.1.9 or lower
-
Confirm subscriber-level access is possibleCheck WordPress user roles in Users > All Users. Verify if any user with 'Subscriber' role exists and can log into the site.Affected if Subscriber-level accounts exist and can access the WordPress site
-
Inspect plugin settings for XSS payloadsAccess the WP Radio settings page (usually under Settings > WP Radio or a dedicated WP Radio menu). Examine form fields such as station names, descriptions, or other text inputs.
