CVE-2024-10816
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 LUNA RADIO PLAYER plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 6.24.01.24 via the js/fallback.php file. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe LUNA RADIO PLAYER WordPress plugin is vulnerable to directory traversal via the js/fallback.php file in all versions up to 6.24.01.24. This allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the server by manipulating path parameters in the fallback.php script, potentially exposing sensitive configuration files, credentials, or other system files.

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.
-
Locate the LUNA RADIO PLAYER plugin directoryCheck if the wp-content/plugins/luna-radio-player directory exists on the server filesystemAffected if The plugin directory exists on the server
-
Identify the installed plugin versionOpen wp-content/plugins/luna-radio-player/readme.txt and look for the 'Stable tag:' line, or check the main plugin PHP file header for 'Version:'Affected if The version is 6.24.01.24 or lower
-
Verify fallback.php existsCheck if the file wp-content/plugins/luna-radio-player/js/fallback.php is present on the serverAffected if The fallback.php file exists in the plugin directory
-
Test if the directory traversal parameter is processedSend a crafted request to the fallback.php file with a path traversal payload such as /wp-content/plugins/luna-radio-player/js/fallback.php?path=../../../../wp-config.php and observe if file contents are returnedAffected if The server returns contents of files outside the plugin directory
The environment is affected if the LUNA RADIO PLAYER plugin is installed with version 6.24.01.24 or lower and the js/fallback.php file is accessible and processes path parameters without proper sanitization.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpdate the LUNA RADIO PLAYER plugin to a version newer than 6.24.01.24 immediately. If no patched version is available, disable and remove the plugin until a fix is released. Alternatively, restrict access to the js/fallback.php file via web server configuration.
Version newer than 6.24.01.24 (check official source for exact version)
- Check the current version of the LUNA RADIO PLAYER plugin installed on your WordPress site
- Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins in the WordPress admin dashboard
- Locate LUNA RADIO PLAYER and note the current version number
- Check the WordPress plugin repository or the developer's site (radioplayer.luna-universe.com) for the latest version
- If a version newer than 6.24.01.24 is available, update the plugin to that version
- After updating, verify the js/fallback.php file has been modified or removed as part of the security update
- Test that the radio player functionality still works correctly after the update
