The advisory
The CP Media Player WordPress plugin before 1.3.4 does not perform a capability check on its settings-page handler, allowing users with only Contributor-level access to create, modify, duplicate and delete the site-wide media player configurations and change a CP Media Player WordPress plugin before 1.3.4 option that should require administrator access.
