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 · unedited
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in CodePeople CP Media Player.This issue affects CP Media Player: from n/a through 1.1.3.

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 · moderate confidence

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in CodePeople CP Media Player plugin versions up to 1.1.3. Attackers can potentially trick authenticated administrators into performing unintended actions (such as modifying media player settings or configurations) by crafting malicious requests that the user's browser automatically submits due to lack of proper anti-CSRF token validation.

MitigationImplement anti-CSRF tokens (nonces) on all state-changing actions, forms, and AJAX endpoints within the plugin, and verify the WordPress nonce verification functions are properly used for all user requests.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify CodePeople CP Media Player plugin is installed
    Access WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, and look for 'CP Media Player' or 'CodePeople CP Media Player' in the list
    Affected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list
  2. Check installed plugin version
    In the Plugins list, click on the plugin name or view details to see the version number displayed
    Affected if Version is 1.1.3 or lower (the vulnerability affects versions up to 1.1.3)
  3. Identify state-changing admin actions
    Navigate the plugin settings pages (usually under Settings or a dedicated CP Media Player menu) and locate any forms that modify configuration, media player settings, or other admin-controlled options
    Affected if Plugin has admin settings forms or configuration panels that accept user input
  4. Inspect plugin source for nonce verification
    Using a file manager or code editor, access wp-content/plugins/cp-media-player/ directory and search for nonce verification functions: wp_nonce_field, check_admin_referer, wp_verify_nonce, nonce_field, or verify_nonce in PHP files
    Affected if No nonce verification functions are found in the plugin code handling admin actions or AJAX requests

User is affected if CodePeople CP Media Player plugin version 1.1.3 or lower is installed and the plugin lacks proper WordPress nonce verification on its admin action handlers.
