The one and only next generation podcast publishing system. Seriously. It's magical and sparkles a lot. — by Eric Teubert

What to do

  1. Update to the latest version (4.5.8). Anything older than 4.5.7 has at least one known issue listed below. Dashboard → Updates, or Plugins → “update now”.
  2. If you cannot update right away, deactivate it until you can.
  3. Turn on auto-updates for it: Plugins → “Enable auto-updates” on its row.
  4. If you ran a vulnerable version and something looks off (spam pages, strange admins, redirects), run the free scan.

With WP-CLI: wp plugin get podlove-podcasting-plugin-for-wordpress --field=version shows what you run; wp plugin update podlove-podcasting-plugin-for-wordpress updates it.

CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by Wordfence
Details from the advisory

The Podlove Podcast Publisher plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Auphonic Webhook in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The injection is triggered by submitting a request to the Auphonic webhook endpoint with any POST body where the status_string field is not the literal string 'Done', causing the full raw POST superglobal to be stored in the plugin log before any authentication key validation is performed.

Details from the advisory

The Podlove Podcast Publisher plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'episode_contributor[..][..][comment]' Parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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. The contributor comment is stored in a plugin-managed custom table, bypassing WordPress core's wp_kses_post filter, and the save_post hook fires without a nonce check, meaning any user who can edit posts can exploit this without further preconditions.

Arbitrary file deletion in Podlove Podcast Publisher (4.5.3 and older)

Access needed (per CVSS)
Needs a low-level account (e.g. subscriber)
Range from
CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by Wordfence
Details from the advisory

The Podlove Podcast Publisher plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the create_link_item function in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). A viable POP chain exists within the plugin itself via Podlove\ImageCache\GenerationGuard, whose __destruct() method invokes wp_delete_file() with an attacker-controlled file path populated through unserialization.
