Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in blubrry PowerPress Podcasting powerpress allows Cross Site Request Forgery.This issue affects PowerPress Podcasting: from n/a through <= 11.13.12.
AnalysisAI
Cross-Site Request Forgery in the PowerPress Podcasting WordPress plugin (versions through 11.13.12) enables remote attackers to perform unauthorized state-changing actions against the plugin by tricking an authenticated WordPress administrator into visiting a malicious page. The CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:R/I:L) confirms exploitation requires no attacker authentication but mandates a social-engineering step to lure a logged-in admin. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS at 0.01% (3rd percentile) reflects minimal observed exploitation interest.
Technical ContextAI
PowerPress Podcasting is a WordPress plugin developed by Blubrry that manages podcast feeds, episode management, and media player embedding. CWE-352 (CSRF) arises when plugin request-handling endpoints fail to validate a WordPress nonce or equivalent anti-forgery token, allowing a crafted cross-origin form submission to execute privileged actions using the victim's authenticated browser session. This is a classic server-side trust failure: the web server accepts state-changing requests originating from the user's browser without verifying that the user intentionally initiated them. The vulnerability was discovered and reported by Patchstack (audit@patchstack.com), which specializes in WordPress ecosystem security audits.
Affected ProductsAI
PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry for WordPress is affected from an unspecified lower version bound through and including version 11.13.12. No CPE string was provided in the available intelligence. Vulnerability details are documented by Patchstack at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/powerpress/vulnerability/wordpress-powerpress-podcasting-plugin-11-13-12-cross-site-request-forgery-csrf-vulnerability. Users should consult the WordPress plugin repository changelog and the Patchstack advisory to identify the first patched release.
RemediationAI
Update the PowerPress Podcasting plugin to a version beyond 11.13.12 as soon as a patched release is available from Blubrry. No exact patched version is confirmed in available data - upstream fix availability should be monitored via the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/powerpress/vulnerability/wordpress-powerpress-podcasting-plugin-11-13-12-cross-site-request-forgery-csrf-vulnerability and the WordPress plugin repository. As interim compensating controls: train WordPress administrators to avoid clicking external links while logged into the dashboard; enforce browser logout after admin sessions; and restrict WordPress admin access (/wp-admin) to trusted IP ranges at the network or WAF layer, which eliminates the attack surface entirely for remote-origin CSRF payloads. A WAF rule blocking cross-origin POST requests to wp-admin endpoints can serve as a stopgap but may interfere with legitimate third-party integrations.
