What to do
- There is no fixed version yet. If you can live without fresh Podcaster for now, deactivate it and delete it until the developer ships a fix.
- If you must keep it, limit who can log in (remove unused accounts, especially low-level ones) and put a web application firewall in front of the site.
- Watch for an update: get an email when this page changes.
- If you ran a vulnerable version and something looks off (spam pages, strange admins, redirects), run the free scan, or have us clean it: Emergency Cleanup, $499.
With WP-CLI: wp plugin get fresh-podcaster --field=version shows what you run; wp plugin update fresh-podcaster updates it.

Details from the advisory
The fresh Podcaster plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'freshpodcaster' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
